Tgiving Upstairs

And the thing about turkey eaters is that a lot of them are turkey
zealots. You know, convincing the reluctant to "try it" for the 25th
year....
Do people really LIKE turkey? Like crave it and just think it tastes so
good?? or is it more of a cultural thing that everybody enjoys... like
beer in Germany or something?

Sounds like you got friends in low places, Jenn

jess said...

Viking Granny!!!! said...

It must be because they feel like they have to pretend to like it because the pilgrims did.....maybe the pilgrims didn't even like the dadgum dry cottony bird, but they were all very hungry and there were lots of wild turkeys available.

I prefer unholy ham...over all.

jess said...

Hey VG what hours does Chuck work Friday?

Josh said...

Yo, Josharoo is the house. . . or on the page. Working later till T Day, had meetings, been working. I’ll chime in here in a little.

Viking Granny!!!! said...

Jess, I am not sure but I am calling Julie now..........she has the phone today.

I forwarded Arbertos email to you.

I love you

Josh said...

Thanksgiving and Christmas were always fun times around the Peterson house when Jeremy and I were kiddos. My parents fully did the Santa thing, we left out cookies, got presents from it, and all that. We didn’t have any real traditions, other than BIG meal, Christmas music, and lots of presents. Since I was the first to give my life to Jesus in my teens, Jesus wasn’t a part of the holidays. Shannon, on the other hand, grew up knowing the Lord. We’ve talked on different occasions what we plan to do. . . ahh phone ringing.

Viking Granny!!!! said...

Josh your picture looks alot like mine. I thought you were me.....

Hey Jess, Lets just stick with the Friday thing...because Julie said that they usually work 1/2 days on Friday. And you know what....if they come a little late thats cool.

Lets just keep it the way it is.

Read your email. I tried support@

Hope that is right.

I couldn't find the new email addres..

Email me please.

BethC said...

jess said...

back with my tamales and eggnog
But now Richy needs the phone so
I'm out

Viking Granny!!!! said...

Hey Jess.

Forget it all

We are going with the original plan.

Robert knew that I was having a lathargic day and he just wanted to get my blood to circulating.

We are all cool.

especially me!

:0)

Josh said...

wow, got busy, continuing from above.

. . . I don’t remember if Shannon said her family had any traditions, but we plan to start one or two with our kids, just not sure what yet. The biggest thing is that we want God and Jesus to be the focus. As far as Santa, we plan to just tell the truth, St. Nicolas was who he was and why he gave gifts and all that. Our kids will know Santa isn’t real and doesn’t really come to peoples homes anymore.

Josh said...

I too really like the taste of turkey!! And everything else that goes with it. No way it’s just a culture things, a well cooked turkey rocks!!

Josh said...

Yo Matt,
Eli is a cutie! Looking good! How long did you take off work, or are you still off?

Josh said...

This Thanksgiving and Christmas will be cool for Shannon. She hasn’t been with her parents during the holidays since 2000! She is really looking forward to being with them and I’ll get to see what they usually do. Her parents and I get along great, so I know it will be a good time whatever we do. I know we’ll be eating, probably playing some games, maybe some karaoke, and her dad and I may do some racing on the Super Nintendo.

jess said...

FYI Tamales and eggnog go GREAT together

jess said...

I gotta talk to the Lord. Lord Richy that is. He's been in his office all day (except for the tamale trip)

jess said...

Viking Granny!!!! said...

Maybe you need to be off a month.

Never enough time. He is wonderful.

I am so happy for you and D'ana

jess said...
