What we almost DIDN'T have for Christmas dinner this year was the turkey. One of my sons lives next door and was to inject and fry the bird this year. After defrosting it in the frig he placed it in the kitchen sink last night to get it ready for frying today. While outside making sure the deep fryer was ready for action, he and his wife heard a 'ka-thunk' in the kitchen.
Daisey, the German Shorthair he and his wife keep in their house had liberated the turkey from the sink and eaten most of it. With 20 family members coming to dinner here today, things were looking bleak. No store in town was open at 11:00 on Christmas Eve. Luckily, his mother in law had a 12lb. bird in her freezer, and todays's dinner was saved.
I don't think we'd really have missed the turkey today anyhow with all the rest of the feast!...Geo

Knives, shooting bags, camo, etc, and
A Gift in Your Honor made to Samaritan's Purse
of blankets, hot meals for a week
and a musical lamb stuffed animal playing "Jesus Loves Me"
AWESOME!!!! Excellent! Great charitable organization. We'll be expecting some good photos soon, John. I received some Drake Mossy Oak Bottomland camo, a jacket and skull cap. I have found that pattern to work better in the flooded timber than any of my other patterns. Plan to put it to good use here and in Arkansas soon. Gave my wife a diamond ring, to replace the one she lost the stone from (in our yard). When she opened it she exclaimed, "Oh honey, you need to buy you a new shotgun!"  Yep. SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Santa brought me an original Browning Superposed Superlight 20b like new with the narrow forearm. Can't wait to try her on the Ruffed Grouse next season. 1970 gun. IC/M. Have to admit, bought it for myself. I have a weakness for Browning Superposed!

Geo, the story of the GSP and the turkey will long be remembered as family legend more than anything else that happened this Christmas. We have a similar legend. I had a wild turkey thawing in the sink and asked my mother-in-law to keep an eye on it as the late Rosce, my Aussie, was in the house and I had to go to the store. She delegated the duty to my 10 year old daughter. Well, you know what happened. My MIL caught Roscoe dead to right gnawing on the bird. I smoked it over night unaware of what happened. She managed to trim the chew marks off the back end of the bird. The next day, my mother-in-law ate turkey without telling a soul what had happened. It was years later that she let the cat out of the bag. Merry Christmas. Gil

SRH All I can say Stan is that you know how to play your cards right. As an old bachelor I'm taking notes on this just in case.
Practice safe eating. Always use a condiment.

I got to spend another Christmas with my whole family.
My folks are 82 and 83 and my pa's health has been up and down like a yo-yo the past couple of years. This year he's doing OK and that's great.
We spent some time looking at old photos of past hunting and fishing trips and telling bigger and bigger lies about the ones that got away.
The Queen (wifey) gave me the go-ahead for a five day pheasant and bunny hunting trip in South Dakota. We're leaving tomorrow so that's a good a gift as I could ask for.
Merry Christmas to all,
tunes
