the $ 2.15 Thanksgiving dinner page 1 by ric Gustafson


John Morgan was bringing out a large pan of carved turkey. He smiled as he noticed the people coming in. " Welcome Gardner family". He put the pan into one of the serving wells. " I'm just about done getting the turkey ready".

" What was that?".
" Sorry Mr Morgan". Martin smiled. " My friend Lucas just wanted to say hi".
The shelter Director held out a hand. " Hello Lucas".
Gobble Gobble I don't have arms or hands
He scratched his chin. " What did your friend say?".
" He said glad to meet you".
Just then, a young woman brought out a large pan of cranberry sauce.
" Oh Sunday". He smiled as she put the pan in the server. " The Gardner family here is going to help serve".

" And this is their friend Lucas".
" Nice to meet all of you". She walked back into the kitchen.
" She's a hard worker". Mr Morgan began putting hot water into the serving wells. " She and her mother have been residents here for a long time".
