What in the world is Tom The Turkey Eating??????




We are soo blessed of the hospitality of facilities!!!We were doing our usual Turkey Program as Turkeys usually do at Thanksgiving time and Anette one of the cooks at Sunny Archers rushed in and wanted us make us at home!! She gave Tom a taste of what else!!! Nothing other than the Delicious Delectable Turkey she was making for hot Turkey Sandwiches the next day!! Tom wondered if it would be all right to eat this turkey since it could be a cousin and he will probably end up baked and set on a table just someday. But he thought," I am a prime Turkey Treat and I know this meat must be good," so in the spirit of being a good sport, loving good food, and the blessing of being thankful for Thanksgiving and living in the USA he tasted the Turkey and it was good. Tom the Turkey also added "After all if it wasn't for us turkeys what would Christopher Columbus have eaten! Pumpkins??" For that answer check out Tom's Thanksgiving and Turkey Trivia.
