Bird, Bird, Bird… Bird’s the Word

We had a smaller Thanksgiving gathering than usual, with just 13 guests.

But we are sooo grateful for our friends, both near and far. Ohana, as my sister from Hawaii says, are the friends who become family.

We are very blessed.

Our newlywed friends (Gerb & Angie Weisgerber) brought a lovely tray of raw veggies. I found myself staring at the clever dip bowl she had fashioned from a sweet pepper. And she added eyes. I immediately saw the red Muppet, but I couldn’t think of Elmo’s name at the time.

THEN…. I looked at it later and saw the way a carrot had been cut and placed just below the eyes. I said, “You know, that makes it look like a bird!” Well, duh. She had artfully arranged all her veggies in such a way that she’d fashioned a turkey. I got to the party, but I surely arrived late… but laughing!!!
