"Meet Mr. Gobbles!"
"Meet Mr. Gobbles!"Of course this picture was taken before the horrific accident that later befell our unfortunate friend....... Say what???? You haven't heard about the accident??? Everyone has, don't you know? Yep--It's been all over the news! The accident occurred while he was being washed in a load of dishes after doing his honest day's labor of holding cranberry sauce! Didn't you read the front page of the newspaper the day after Thanksgiving??? "TURKEY GETS HEAD SMASH ON THANKSGIVING DAY" It was a shocker! Oh, I cringe to think of it! Poor Mr. Gobbles was COMPLETELY DECAPITATED!!! Oh, but wait! There is a ray of sunshine! After a long, agonizing 50 seconds work with a tube of superglue, Mr. Gobbles' head was restored almost completely to it's original condition! WOW! What a story, huh?????

And I beg to differ about the sweet potato cass. I am a proud southerner who HATES sweet potatoes!!! (Including S.P.C) However, I shall allow the rest of my poor southern relations to enjoy that er - - interesting dish. :-P
I liked your Dr. Seuess ryme. :) :)

those baked goods looked fantastic
--wiping drool off of monitor--, especially the apple pie and coffee cake (you knew that one would be a favorite for Aunt Katie )
Poor Mr. Gobbles...I'm so glad the reconstructive surgery was a success.
I love being in a family that makes off-hand comments from 1940's screwball comedies and does't have to explain the comment!
