Emma said the funniest thing, and I had to write it down before I forgot. In preschool, her class each received a little paper turkey. They were told to write about how you cook a turkey. Emma said, "Grandma makes it. She puts teeth on it. Puts it in the oven. Cook it for 1 min." Spoken like a true 4-year-old! It was so cute and funny! I had to hold my laughter in because she was giving me one a serious look. I tried thinking whether she had ever eaten turkey with teeth or what might have given her the idea that you put teeth on the turkey.
As a side note, my personal experience with baking turkeys hasn't been too great. The (one) time I attempted it, I had to call my Dad for emergency help. The caring Dad that he is, he left work and helped me gut it. As much as I like eating turkey, the gory contents of the cold, wet turkey made me lose my appetite for the bird (at least for a day or so). As my Dad and I struggled with that crazy turkey, I vowed to never again attempt the impossible (or at least the unlikely). I love to cook and bake, but that silly turkey was all I could take.
Anyway, we had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and . . .yes, my Mom cooked the turkey and it was delicious!

Kelly,
Hi! It's so good to hear from you! How are you and what's been going on in your life? I'd love to hear more, when you have time.
I've been a stay at home mom to our 4 kids for over 10 years now. I'm going to school online to become a medical transcriptionist in the future. David and I have lived in Mt Vernon, MO for about 2 years now. He is the Miller HS Principal as well as the HS Girls basketball coach.
I will write more later, but it's so glad to hear from you! Please keep in touch.
