I cooked A Turkey

Saturday I hosted my first Thanksgiving. I cooked a turkey-yep a 15 pounder! I got lots of advice from magazines, cook books, the Internet, Friends and Moms. I ended up with a tasty bird that turned out quite good for my first try. It took an hour longer than I thought it would (Just as my Mom said) but we did get to eat at some point. I pulled out my Great Grandma Poulsen's China for the occasion and even made some cute little name tag scenarios so people knew where to sit. A few weeks ago I got a weird impulse to paint a turkey on my window along with a cornstalk and a few squashes and pumpkins. I am really starting to freak myself out. Painting thanksgiving themes? Baking turkeys? Making Name tags??? What has happened to me?
