“Oh, You Turkey!”

This popular phrase, born in the 70’s, was used by my dad, in the 70’s….a LOT! Instead of the now more popular adjectives “Dork”, “Moron”, “Boob” or even one of my favorites, “Tool” I may return to “Turkey”…especially this week. Being that it’s the week leading up to Thanksgiving and most important I believe now more than ever in keeping one’s spirit alive by remembering, reminiscing & sharing with others. Why just last night, Gary and I were watching TV (CSI Miami…no judging please!), and I said “and the thick plottens” as the plot thickened…then I turned to Gary and I said “my mom would always say that!” 

This just in…I have just discovered that one of our local, main papers has announced that the (ever popular in my family) coloring contest “Oh, You Turkey” turned 30 last year! WOW!! Can’t wait for Thursday’s edition.

Everyone keeps asking…is there ANYthing we/I can do? And I continue to respond with, “Pray for my mom’s comfort daily, for the cancer to steer clear of her brain and for my family to remain as one throughout this horrid ordeal.
