Turkey Named Michigan! :) in 2008, when we went shopping at the stores, we noticed many of the stores didn't put Thanksgiving decorations on the shelves for sale. i remember one adventure shopping, i was so hopeful to buy a turkey decorative, but couldn't find any. i wrote a journal about that adventure, and then a few days later, we recieved this special box in the mail, a delivery from our dear friends Deb (Stardust). Brz, Lanie, and their family :) they sent us this beautiful turkey decorative :) it warmed our hearts, and touched our hearts in many special ways :) i named the Turkey, Michigan in honor of Deb and her family :) We cherish and treasure our wonderful Thanksgiving decorations :)

Hello Chris and baking team, I love watching the boys cooking and watching them grow I loved your Thanksgiving theme table it was wonderful. It’s so exciting to watch it and just wish I was there I wish I had family you can’t imagine how lonely it is during these times. So glad that you have family around I think you go crazy if you had to sit here like me even Bruce leaves me alone he goes to visit his son a lot and goes to the stores is outside cutting grass and trimming trees and a trim the rose bushes yesterday but he doesn’t realize I sit in here by myself. I so enjoyed your journal and your theme table and Thanksgiving celebration in your pumpkin pie and cookies and everything turned out perfect sending love and hugs to you and your family you are blessed to have your family around I am blessed to have you and your family in my life thank you very much from your friend Shirley in Kentucky:). :). :). :)
