LEFTOVER TURKEY RECIPE IDEAS!!

ALL IN A WORD

by Aileen Fisher

T-for time to be together,
turkey, talk, and tangy weather.
H-for harvest stored away,
home, and hearth, and holiday.
A-for autumn's frosty art,
and abundance in the heart.
N-for neighbors, and November,
nice things, new things to remember.
K-for kitchen, kettles' croon,
kith and kin expected soon.
S-for sizzles, sights, and sounds,
and something special that abounds.
that spells THANKS--for joy in living
and a jolly good Thanksgiving.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
