Pregnant Turkey

One year at Thanksgiving, my mom went to my sister's house for the traditional feast.

Knowing how gullible my sister is, my mom decided to play a trick. She told my sister that she needed something from the store. When my sister left, my mom took the turkey out of the oven, removed the stuffing, stuffed a Cornish hen, and inserted it into the turkey, and re-stuffed the

turkey. She then placed the bird(s) back in the oven.

When it was time for dinner, my sister pulled the turkey out of the oven and proceeded to remove the stuffing. When her serving spoon hit something, she reached in and pulled out the little bird.

With a look of total shock on her face, my mother exclaimed, "Patricia, you've cooked a pregnant bird!" At the reality of this horrifying news, my sister started to cry. It took the family two hours to convince her that turkeys lay eggs!

Yep..................SHE'S BLONDE!

Sending care packages to the US Military

My dad died when I was young. He was a combat engineer in WW2 but I am not sure what unit he was with. I know a few things about his experiences, such as his unit was involved with "heavy ponton" bridges. I know that he crossed the Remagen bridge before it collapsed.

His name: Thomas R. Burns

I have various stripes from his uniforms, looks like his highest rank was Staff Sergeant.

I have a lot of old boxes to go thru and am sure that I come up with more information.

I will share what I turn up on this forum

Have lost touch with Aloha Jim (Jim Davis), WWII Engineer. Sent him a T-Day wish this morning, and the email bounced back. That usually means "you-know-what", but I am hoping it's just an email change.

If anyone knows anything about Jim Davis, please let me know one way or another.

just a note to wish you a happy thanksgiving and let you know you're close in thought although we're miles apart .

Love Vee
