Life With Judy.....

We made a quick run into town to rent a floor sander and get supplies to finish the floor once sanded. Bob was coming out of Lowe's with our purchase when he saw a woman walking across the parking lot with a turkey carcass in an aluminum foil roasting pan. He said he knew it was me, before he ever saw my face. He went on to say, if he had been inside and someone had said there goes a woman with a turkey carcass he would have bet good money on it being me. He's really just thankful, I don't go to all the tables asking for their leftovers when we go out to eat. Bless his heart, it took him the longest time to get over being embarrassed by me getting a "doggie bag".

I had spotted some items on sale when we went into the store and while he was checking out I went to investigate. On the way back to meet him, I saw they were closing up the area where they had "deep fried" a turkey and had given out samples, hoping to get people to buy a "Turkey Fryer". I asked the young man, what he was going to do with the carcass and he said throw it away. So I told him to give it to me for my Bullies, I could simmer it in a big pot and make turkey gravy for them. Hence I was walking across the parking lot with the carcass, getting lots of remarks from people as I passed, mostly encouraging, except one elderly man who asked "Did it fill ya up?". To this I replied, "I was awful hungry and there's not much left or I'd offer you some". Everyone around was laughing. Who would have thought you could get so much laughter and interaction with strangers, not to mention gravy, out of an ole turkey carcass!!!!

The "strays that came to stay" smelled that carcass before I even got the van door open, but they had to wait until morning for gravy over their food..
