the $ 2.15  Thanksgiving dinner page 1 by ric Gustafson


John Morgan was carrying in a large pan of carved turkey. He smiled as he noticed the people walking in. " Welcome Gardner family". He put the pan in one of the serving wells. " I'm just about done getting the turkey ready".
Gobble Gobble Gobble.
" What was that?".
" Sorry Mr Morgan". Martin smiled. " My friend Lucas just wanted to say hi".
The shelter director held out his hand. " Hello Lucas".
Gobble Gobble  I don't have arms or hands.
" What did your friend say?".
" He said glad to meet you".
Just then, a young woman brought out a pan of cranberry sauce.
" Oh Sunday". He put the pan into the server. " The Gardner family is going to help us serve".
Gobble Gobble
" And this is their friend Lucas".
" Nice to meet you all". She walked back into the kitchen.
" She's a hard worker". He began to brew some coffee. " Her and her mother have been residents here for a long time".
