How Two People Consumed a 21-lb Turkey In 4 Days!

Day 1. Thanksgiving (duh)

Turkey dinner with all the fixin's around 2:00 PM topped off with lemon meringue pie!

Turkey sandwiches around 7:00PM (Yummy!!) Nature's sleeping pill!

 Day 2.

Turkey sandwiches with mayo, lettuce, and cranberry sauce for lunch (still tasty!)

Turkey dinner with all the fixin's (round 2) plus pie, of course! (Next-day leftovers are even better, don't you think?)

Day 3.

Turkey salad sandwiches for lunch. (Lovin' me some turkey salad!)

Turkey/romaine chef salad for dinner (Finally, something green that isn't soaked in Campbell's mushroom soup and French's onions!) and, oh yeah…pie.

Day 4.

Turkey salad sandwiches for lunch (Not lovin' the turkey salad so much and there's still half a bowl).

Turkey pot pie for dinner and the last of the lemon meringue. (sigh) 

Note: There might have been Day 5 except that on day 2 I was smart enough to vacuum seal a couple bags of turkey pieces for some time in May, (the earliest possible date I figure we'll be able to look at turkey, again, without gagging).

Btw,  our furry daughter requested a 22-pounder next year because Lucy and "friends" didn't get their share.

*sigh*

Brave Irene - William Steig, Narration by Meryl Streep

"An extroadinarily eloquent story about love and courage"

- The New Yorker

The Duchess eagerly awaits the delivery of her ball gown by Irene's mother, Mrs. Bobbin, but the seamstress is sick in bed and can't possibly deliver the gown in time.

Enter Brave Irene! Through a ferocious snowstorm and deliberately treacherous winds, Irene sets out to save the day for her dear mother (who always smells like fresh-baked bread to Irene).

Most would turn back, too afraid to face such a frightening journey, but Irene plods on with courage and ingenuity.

Magnificently illustrated and written by William Steig, Brave Irene even kept this senior citizen engaged throughout the story.

Narrated by the iconic Meryl Streep, this Book & CD Set charms with vivid illustrations, an exciting storyline, and the perfect voice to bring it all together. Also including a read-along track, Brave Irene is the kind of book that children will grow up listening to, and then excitedly read to themselves!

Ages 4 & up

Are you Rich and Famous??

Two questions asked during an author visit to a local elementary school:

Are you rich?

Are you famous?

Let's see...I came home the other day from speaking to a fabulous group of 4th and 5th graders - at one of my favorite schools, Villa Rica Elementary - cleaned the house and fixed (translation: warmed up leftovers) dinner.

Today I'm doing laundry for what seems like our entire neighborhood (there's just the two of us!), and trying to ignore pleading looks from my canine daughter  that "walkie time" is waaay overdue.

If you're planning a writing career, I suppose my response to those two questions would be, "Don't quit your day job! In fact, you might want to add a couple additional jobs!"

That said, I wouldn't give up what I do for anything...except a winning lottery ticket.
