Gobble Gobble!

This is a turkey plate.  I HATED these plates when I was a kid.  We ate Thanksgiving dinner on them each year.  They were my grandmother's, then my mother's.  I had some serious disdain for the turkey plates.  Now?  Can you see where this is going?  I have a love for the turkey plate that borders on obsession.  I coveted the turkey plates.  There is a set of 12, and a large platter.  They are old, and they are marvelous.  I told my mother when she died that I wanted her turkey plates, silver bangle bracelets, and her drop leaf table.  (I know that's weird.  Hush.)  My. Mother. Gave. Them. To. Me.  I am not kidding when I tell you that I clapped with excitement about owning the turkey plates.  She said if she starts hosting Thankgsiving again she gets them back.  Clearly never happening.  Gobble Gobble!
