Selecting the Bird

November begins this week, and that means that Thanksgiving cannot be far behind.  I know that many of you have already begun to compile a menu for this festive holiday.  At the top of your list is probably the word turkey.  You may have already gone shopping to select the perfect bird.  Well, I did the same today, although my process was a bit different than any of my previous years.

Let me explain:

1) Man rides up on bicycle with turkeys in tow

2) Man displays turkeys for inspection

   

3) Fredna selects turkey

4) Gaylord haggles over price

5) Deer and dog inspect turkeys

6) Turkeys now have a new home where they will receive lots of grain in the next three weeks

Now if I could just find canned pumpkin and red sweet potatoes!
