Renee,

Thank you, and I think you are on to something.

I have to admit. I do like the turkey. However, none will be gracing
our table this year, nor will ham (that does seem somewhat contrary
doesn't it?)

There is no excuse for how the pigs were treated on the one local farm,
and trust me, there is another one coming up that will be on the news
soon.

And I do so love their coffee cakes. Again neither will grace our
table.

I will take the devil's money to support the shelter, and find a way
to help stop inhumane treatment.

Thank you again.
