Turkeys’ Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving Day we gather,
turkeys of many feathers.
Together we celebrate
not being on someone’s plate.
Whatever our race or creed,
Thankful hearts are all we need.

Happy Holidays from Robert and Cheryl!
I am going to be off the blog celebrating the holidays. The holiday gift I want most is a world at peace. Let’s hope 2026 will be peaceful. See you in the New Year!

Thank you, Ingrid. It was enjoyable, just the two of us and a quiet dinner at home. I made chicken with Robert’s favorite cornbread dressing and my favorite cranberry gelatin salad.
Have a great weekend! 🌼🌺🦋🌸
