>>Fortunately we dont eat meat so no turkey.<<

Well, we eat meat, so I feel like the proverbial butcher after manhandling
Mr. Turkey and Ms. Ham. As I was throwing out the giblets (=garbage, in my
book) I called the kids in and we dissected them first; found the valves in
the heart and everything. They were suitably impressed, but not enough to
include the results in the gravy.

Emily, 6, has taught her grandmother chess, read to her, made her watch
while she did addition problems, and is now playing JumpStart Kindergarten
with her.

We just saw a hawk on the back fence and I made a mental note to keep a
close eye on the dogs (my 7 lb dachshund might look just like a rabbit) and
maybe pick up a plastic owl to put out there. I don't begrudge the hawk her
dinner, but I would take exception if she decided to pick up some takeout
from the yard (it's happened around here before.)

We have a dachshund, too! He's a mini but does weigh all of 10lbs!
