Happy Turkey Day, Donn.

Loved learning about the birds.

But, like this poor guy, I thought they could fly.

Happy Thanksgiving! You had what looks like a greatly fun adventure with those speed-dating turkeys! The female turkeys may not have been impressed but those Tom’s looked pretty handsome to me.

I have never had the pleasure of seeing turkeys in the wild…I’ve only ever come across them on farms.

And, as an expat, we have gotten to a routine where we make and eat pepperkaker (ginger cookies) we roll and cut out with a turkey shaped cookie-cutter on Thanksgiving. Because there is no 4-day holiday in Norway, choosing the “cookie route” as a way to celebrate Turkey day has become our family’s tradition.

All the best to you and yours for a relaxing long holiday weekend!

I really appreciate everything you said here. Connecting and creating are two things I am thankful for, too. I think creating contributes to society through sharing, and sharing our creations creates connection. So, it does seem to be all connected. But, I agree, that we can always do more to contribute and create connection.

The turkey images made me smile.

We have a ton of them here in MN, and often, the traffic slows down because of them. :)

Bald eagles are some of my favorite animals!

Thanks for sharing!
