The snow I was counting on to finish this never materialized and you can see the forlorn beginnings of the sculpture as I can see them from my office window:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7535\/15892120975_418159a613_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nThe turkey only needed a little padding and some tail feathers. The Pilgrim needed a lot more work to begin to capture Norman Rockwell&#8217;s masterpiece. Mine would have looked hungrier.<\/p>\n<p>We brought our grandsons home last night as per our usual Wednesday arrangement and they will be with us until company arrives for a turkey feast this afternoon. The boys wanted to watch the movie &#8220;Free bird&#8221; this morning but I objected. Its about brave turkeys who go back in time to the Bay Colony to stop the turkey devouring tradition started in Massachusetts in the 1620&#8217;s. The movie&#8217;s birds succeed and get the and Pilgrims to eat pizza instead. I was alarmed that the boys would demand we go vegan on them today but my older grandson reassured me by demanding to eat our bird&#8217;s heart after Claudia cooked the giblets.<\/p>\n<p>I did wake up at 1 AM and had to crawl out of bed to type up a round of questions I&#8217;ll have for Attorney Mary Rice. That took a couple hours and crawling back into bed didn&#8217;t lead to sleep. At five my younger grandson crawled into our bed and snuggled next to me. It knocked me out of my snarling mood and replaced it with a smile.<\/p>\n<p>It should last through the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Thanksgiving.
