Turkey Choir

Each year on Thanksgiving day there's something I just have to do...and that is attend the Turkey Choir Concert. It is a community choir organized with Kendell Nielsen directing and his wife Elaine at the piano. The choir was fabulous! The concert is held at the historic Rexburg Tabernacle with vintage wood benches, ornate radiator heating, and colorful stained glass windows. I went early on Thursday to make sure I could get a good place to sit and to save a spot for my daughter Lori and her two daughters Rilee and Madison. I was there long enough to hear a child behind me exclaim to his parents, "Mom, Charley is messing with the spotlights up in the balcony!"

The guys in our family are not into the music of the holidays so much and they could be found at the Rexburg shooting range making lots of noise aiming at targets and clay pigeons. Dale put them through a series of aiming exercises that the police train with. They were happy out there bonding and us girls were content listening to the music. We then gathered at Lori's home for a wonderful turkey dinner. It was so nice to let the next generation do the cooking. She did a great job and her house smelled wonderful! This year Chad bought her a turkey fryer and it only took one hour to have some juicy turkey meat.

Each day is a great day when you get together with those you love and just have good simple fun!
