Thanksgiving reads

 This week's books are Thanksgiving dinner books.  It is in two days, so they are timely.

The Tappletons are gathered for Thanksgiving dinner and each element of the meal meets a ghastly beginning or end.  Mom drops the turkey and it slides out the door and into the pond, dad is responsible for the pies, Kenny the salad, Jenny the potatoes.  But by the time everyone is gathered around the table they all have to confess. Grandma has been waiting to say grace and as everyone is feeling quite sad she saves the day with her message.

We all know the old lady who swallowed the fly...and myriad take offs on that rhyme.  This is another one.  This is also one you have to watch the pictures very closely.  For that reason it's better as a lap book. But after today I realized kids don't watch the Thanksgiving Day parades on TV anymore.  When I was a kid that was mandatory.  We had to get out of our mother's way so she could cook and we'd watch the parades on TV because it was the only thing available.  Now I guess with so many streaming options kids just don't.  I think next year I'll choose another book.  But this one is such fun!  Sigh.

Update on the BA quilt.  I have all four borders done, two are attached, two waiting.  In a few minutes the girls are coming for two days and then it's Thanksgiving so I won't get back to it for a few days.  But I am SO on schedule all angst is gone and I can feel good about leaving it for a couple of days.  Gives my hands a rest.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
