The Turningreens have taken our show on the road for Turkey Day. We’ve covered over 700 mi in the last 22 hrs, dog and all. Smooth sailing, thanks to a newly downloaded One Direction album on one iPod, a few animated movies on an iPad and a nonfiction audiobook borrowed from the library.
We are 45mi from our destination, where family and good food await.
Here is a photo of the backpack food I delivered earlier this week. Each student got their usual bag and a special Thanksgiving box. I’m thinking of those 35 kids this holiday, as well as families just like ours that lost their homes in Sandy. We have much for which to give thanks.
Have a safe and happy holiday, folks.

That’s awesome. What’s in the bags/boxes? :)
@DrTiff – Shelf stable food that doesn’t require adult supervision to open/prepare.
I remember filling these up too, great project!
poor kiddos.
I’m glad you’re there now, safe and happy. Have a great Thanksgiving.
@BoulderChristina – I have never been involved in packing them, because they do that in the afternoons when my kids are home. You have to be 13 to work on the warehouse, so they can’t help. It’s a team effort to make sure those kids get fed!
@ordinarybutloud – You, too!!
Have a fun and happy holiday.
I didn’t know about America Recycles Day! How strange that I’ve never heard of it – thank you for sharing!
I hope you make it home safely. Sounds like it has been a lovely trip – and that makes home just that much more inviting, right?
