tom turkey on a platter...

and here is the tom turkey that is the most special to me! this is a thanksgiving platter that my dad bought for his mom when he got out of the army. that makes this platter over 50 years old. isn't is great? i love it!!!

i had been looking for a turkey platter for awhile and mentioned to my mom about wanting one. she told me about the one dad had and the story behind it. the platter had been tucked away and i had forgotten about it. i was excited to see it and knew i had found my turkey platter! i asked dad about it and he said i could have it after thanksgiving last year! so now i have a turkey platter! lucky me!
