***********************
Turkey Drive 

Every year Sophia's elementary school sponsors a turkey drive for a local charity. This year, the school hopes to beat last year's record of ~ 300 turkeys.

Sophia's extended family donated seven turkeys. May and I bought the last Honeysuckle turkeys available at Target and then two more Butterball turkeys. Her parents bought two Butterball turkeys. The "89-cent-per-pound" turkeys were all sold out. Honeysuckle and Butterball were $1.19 / pound, the same -- or very close -- as last year.
