HAPPY THANKSGIVING YA'LL!!

Cheers to all those who grew & processed their own birds! May they be the tastiest ever!

Cheers to all who are stuck eating Butterball...that would be me. But enjoy and understand how incredible their funky turkeys truly are! Love me a lap turkey!

Cheers to the perfect apple pie, the 10,000 year old artifact (that a chicken found), and all those who traveled to be with family!

GOBBLE, GOBBLE, GOBBLE

I need to take it easy on the alcohol tonight too. I'm leaving at the crack of stupid to get to a dog show! My brother in law will be pleasantly surprised. ..

Feisty...I was on a flight a few months ago & they pulled a drunk gal off the flight before we left the gate. Never have seen that before. But things are weird flying these days. Unfortunately I have to fly alot. Just a huge hassle these days. Luckily I'm pre-Check so at least I can keep my shoes on!

Go to Feathersite. ...it's entertaining!

Heading to a dog show tomorrow morning. I have a dog that only needs a point to finish his championship. He'll win. And instead of hanging out the rest of the weekend I think I'll head home. Miss my girls! Plus it's going to start raining this evening and will continue through the rest of the weekend. That's no fun. I judged last weekend, so I couldn't show him.

Penguin! Who knew? I'm putting my order in for either a Barred Slate or a Slate Edge Bourbon Red tom. You could populate north American with baby Penguins! We would all end up with calico flocks! With a Penguin baby and my Slate & Bourbon Red girls, I definitely could end up with calico babies. You could market them as "Minnesota Calicos"!
