Thankful Thursday-A Vision of Thanks - Too Obvious?

The Thankful Thursday Group is looking for a Profile picture and I know this entry for the contest is a bit obvious, but I couldn't resist...

Now, what represents "thanks" better than the Thanksgiving turkey?

My mother-in-law, Mae, has been gone for eight years now. Family was the most important thing in the world to her, and feeding her family was something she took great pride in. She would have been very proud to have this picture entered into the contest.

Awwww! That's such a great photo! Miss Mae looks like someone I would have been thankful to know, too!

That turkey looks like it weighs as much as the chef!

Hi Sharon!

The best things in life are usually the most overlooked, and a Thanksgiving turkey represents so many of those things. That's why we have Thanksgiving, to remember the things we take for granted everyday. I think your entry is a spectacular one. :)

Sharon. this is a great photo to enter...and OMG that is a LARGE turkey....

That one WOW!!! Well that is a good one it shows alot of stuff thank you for sharing.

Have a great day,

Kim White

That is a wonderful photo. Good luck.

Sharon How nice to recognize your mother-in law. No wonder the beautiful smile..look at that delicious roasted bird

Sharon I think that is a great photo. She looks like she was full of good humor with lots of energy. You must miss her quite a bit. I say you have the winning photo!

Ashley: She loved to cook and her presentation was always beautiful. Thanks for the nice comment!

Allen: Almost! I don't think the woman ever saw 100 lbs.

Lisa: Thank you, what a beautiful way to put it!

Rebecca: She took her turkey very seriously! We always had a big one!

Kim: Thanks for your excitement!

Joan: Thank you, I appreciate it!

June: She loved the holidays and putting out a big spread. Unfortunately she didn't spend much time with us, she spent all her time in the kitchen!

Debra: Thanks so much! She was full of energy, and she would do anything for her family. Oh, and don't be fooled by her size, for such a little woman she could take care of herself!

Sharon,
I think it's a great entry. Feeding those we love is just one of the ways some of us show our love.

Hi Sharon

Our memories keep people alive in our heart and mind.

Good luck and success.

Lou Ludwig

Cynthia: Thank you! She was one of those Italian mommas who insisted everyone have more!

Lou: So true! Thanks!

JUL

Great photo Sharon. I think that is the largest Turkey I have ever seen and it looks like it is cooked to perfection.

Sharon - now that looks like a great turkey. And Mae sounds like she was a wonderful person.

Hi Sharon...

Just popping in to make sure you're behaving yourself over here :)

Great pic of Mae. Priceless :)

TLW...ROAR!

Michele: It was very large and it's funny you should mention it being cooked to perfection. I seem to remember it not being cooked all the way and having to go back in the oven. LOL!

Mike: Thank you!

TLW: Now whose making sure that you are behaving yourself? Thanks for stopping by, and checking on me. I won't do anything you wouldn't do, how's that?

Fabulous pic of Miss Mae Sharon !!!!

Sharon,

That's one BIG turkey!

Mike in Tucson

JUL

Sheldon: Thanks for bringing your bubbly enthusiasm my way! Miss Mae would have really liked you! And thanks for the logo approval!

Mike: Not really, it's just she was so small! LOL!!

JUL

Hi Sharon,

Your photo brought back memories. My grandmother's name was May (Mayetta) also. She was of German background though (Schwindt). My mom is the same as your mother in law was. Always too much food cuz you never know how many mouths there will be to feed. But you know there will always be enough plus leftovers.

Jenny: I am a big fan of leftovers! No such thing as too much as far as I'm concerned! Thanks.

Wow, that turkey is huge and looks delicious. She must have had quite a crowd to feed!

Wendy: Not really, I think there were only six adults and three small kids. She wasn't one to run out of food. She taught me the fine art of having four to six side dishes with a holiday meal so there is plenty of variety and color. She loved an attractive presentation when it came to serving.

JUL

Oh, great. Now I'm hungry.

Wendy: Turkey for dinner? Thanks for commenting!!

JUL

I LOVE your entry! Do we get to vote? If we do, you've got mine. Can you cut me a slice of that bird? Pass the cranberries, any day of the week!

Janna: Oh, I hope the judges see your comment! Thanks so much! I agree with you about the turkey and cranberries any day of the week!

JUL

Unfair advantage... tugging on the heartstrings, making me hungry! Wonderful entry Sharon!

Susan: OHHH, your heartstrings were tugged? Mae would be so happy to hear that. That's a good thing! Thanks!!

JUL

Sharon,

I think that is a great choice! I love it! I think they should look no further!

Have a great week!

Judy

Judy: Thank you so much! I think today is the final day for entries, so we should know soon!

Turkey is a sign of thanks when you consider the only day I ever eat it is on Thanksgiving.

JL: My dad too! He may have it during the year, but not that often. I think it's great you participate in the tradition on that day!
