My Close Friend the Turkey

My Close Friend the Turkey

Here’s how a turkey came home with me when I wasn’t expecting him. You see, it all happened this way: yesterday, I went to the food store just to pick up a few things. Well, first one thing led to another. I remembered more and more of what I needed until my grocery cart was […]
