TG in a box - you order a fully prepared dinner from the grocery store. It came with turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, dinner rolls, and cranberry sauce. Everything is cooked, it has to be reheated.

Hmm, sounds, um, yummy. Sounds like the day-after TG food around my house. Hope you dont' reheat the cranberry sauce.

Everyone's so quiet- still in TG Coma?

Just returned from having a drink and a chat with Jobob. Very nice. We both decided to go with the Riesling -Edgefield. Don't know the year but very sweet, nose of pear and apricot.
We chatted about TE, of course, and had lots of fun. Got the tour of the Grand Lodge. At one point there was some excitement because a guy was in the hot tub "soaking pool" sans shorts "acting weird" so we reported him to the front desk. Aside from that, much relaxed chatting until we both felt like we were going to fall asleep. I'm pretty close to being there. (asleep, that is) yays!
so good luck to Jobob, and hoping she and Leebob have good weather for tomorrow... and Jobob says hi.

I did a "donation release" today. A local resident...111 years old...the nations oldest WW1 veteran. I had read about it. Gov. Busch had given him a certificate last month. He was in the same "trailer" since 1960, he was so cute...and I thought, so alone. I called the funeral director and asked if he thought they might like a dove release. I had been at that cemetary several times. I brought 12 birds. Ended up that the relatives kept coming up wanting to release a bird. I originally asked "would a family member like to release the single white bird, representing the soul?" They all wanted to. I reached in and got a bird for each one. It really was very moving. There wasn't one of them with a dry eye. Most of them kissed the bird. I was amazed at the media there. Have already received some pictures (via email) from The Observer. Watched Fox news and I WAS ON IT!!!! If any of you in Fl get it, I bet it will be on later tonight. FOX news. The family thanked me so many times. The funeral director thanked me several times. Man, do I feel good. Thought I would share. God, I love what I do. Someday, I might even make money doing it!!! In the mean time, you can't put a price on how it makes me feel.

Nanci, how sweet! Thanks for sharing it. Where does your friend get the birds they release? I love the idea of releasing a bird representing the soul. L.

She raises them. They are pure white homing pigeons.

Pictures, we want pictures....you can leave your sunglasses on.

Nanci-thanks for sharing the link. I always wondered what happens to the released birds. Duh, never thought of it, homing pigeons.

CWR-I am sorry about your feet.

Dar-I have no clue. Is there a 24hr vet? Tell the dog to drink lots and lots of water? poor pup.

Kit- Where are Jobob and Leebob headed? Are they touring up the coast?

Congrats to everyone who has snow and likes snow. I'm off to walk the pup. I've started Mae the mutt on glucosamine, I've heard it helps dogs. At 6 I'm noticing she has a little hitch in her gidyup.
