Subject: RE: BS: Entering Poverty
I don't know about roadkill, that's a bit much. I suppose if we were truly going without, it would be an option. That gives me pause for thought, that things aren't so bad that I have to go looking for dead animals in the road. We might be down to bare basics but that isn't so bad. We had a stockpile of groceries before our adventure began and would urge anyone else to do the same. You never know what will happen next.

I attended a gathering today where Thanksgiving was being celebrated. It was a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with all the fixings. People brought SO MUCH food that there were leftovers beyond belief. These same people also had no interest in taking any kind of leftover home with them. They were more than happy to have me pack up what was left, wished me well and they went on their merry way. I have squash, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, rolls, pie, turkey and sweet potatoes. I also was able to bring home the skin and bones of the turkey. They are simmering as I type and will make a large batch of broth for vegetable soup. YUM.

I realize that this story of my hitting the jackpot may cue some people as to who I really am. That's ok. I know you will keep it to yourself. Besides, I really have nothing to be ashamed of, it's just circumstances, hopefully to right it self within a month or two if we are lucky.
