Gobble Gobble!


Happy Thanksgiving, you turkeys!

(Wild turkeys wander the neighborhoods here, much like squirrels or chipmunks might on the Mainland. I have yet to see the wild donkeys or wild pigs about which the highway signs warn you, but I've encountered the turkeys a number of times, once even being stopped completely in traffic while a group...gaggle?...flock?...of thirteen turkeys crossed the road--the one day I didn't have my camera.)

I count my blessings each night and offer up thanks many times during the course of each day. It's no wonder that Thanksgiving has morphed into my favorite holiday...a chance to focus on celebrating good health, good friends and good food...that is a holiday I can get behind.
