Lucky Leftover Friday

Dear Friends

I would argue that today is not only "Black Friday", but "Lucky Leftover Friday". By lucky, I'm not just talking about those lucky enough to be warming up a plate of turkey and side dishes today, (not to mention those turkey sandwiches coming soon). I'm talking about the turkeys who survived!

Just consider the lucky flock of turkeys we came across on the grounds of Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd, Salinas, as we continue to explore this beautiful area and found our neighbor parish. (see picture above)

Or consider the luck we had in finding a fresh turkey on sale which survived yesterday's dinner table, but will find a home on ours soon. Even the price label, if you look closely, identified it as "Lucky". (Did I mention we bought it at Lucky grocery store?...see picture below)




"With a Little Bit of Luck", of course, is a song from "My Fair Lady". We are thankful for our little bit of lucky timing represented in these two pictures, including the Lucky meat manager coming out to change the price label on the turkey just as we were looking at it! 

Could all this luck have anything to do with the fact that we drove to Dublin (California!) for Thanksgiving dinner with cousins yesterday? Or that Kathleen is half Irish?

Happy Lucky Leftover Friday!
