“My Mother served us Leftovers for 30 years. We never found the original meal!” ~ Henny Youngman (I think?)
I’m also reminded of The Best Christmas Ever, the year that Grandpa got us a Christmas Tree that had fallen off a Christmas Tree Truck right in front of him! It was a sign from above, LOL!
And, THEN he accidentally hit a pheasant on the same road, so we had it for Christmas Dinner.
God Bless Us, Every One!
(We STILL laugh about that Christmas, though Grandpa has been gone since 1980.)
Christmas tree miracles ... you, too? Hubs saw a cut pine tree by the side of the road one November day on his way to the hay auction. Figured if it was still there on his way back in was A Sign From God that that was our Christmas tree that year. We figured it had fallen out of a tree trimmer’s load or something. It was the top of a tree, not an actual tree. We put it in a stock tank until closer to time to decorate.
Another Thanksgiving we had home raised duck and rabbit stew because DS1 had good luck hunting. We were broke as a joke all those years so a road-kill Christmas tree and rabbit stew were great.
