Now, for me leaving I was more than heartbroken - I cried all the way to the Georgia border. After all these years I have adjusted. Arizona has just enough of a change in seasons that I like it. Are you all getting ready for Turkey day? Anyone have any good recipes they want to share? Last Edited on 20-Nov-2009 7:35 AM

The entire town has decided to do a traditional Turkey Day out on the Point as a fund raiser for the Christmas decorations. Should be just like the Pilgrims with everyone eating outside. I cannot imagine a turkey stuffed with peas and rice so I will report on the outcome!
