Henry's First Thanksgiving

Dear Henry Albert,

You had your first Thanksgiving. It was great!You flew in an airplane (like a bird or duck) to Atlanta. Uncle Mike and Dave live in a house at 305 Connecticut Avenue, NE. Mommy and Daddy and Myrna and Lewis and Paula and Joel and Wolfie and Vegas and Blackie were there. (Wolfie, Vegas and Blackie are dogs).
Mike is a very good cook. He made a turkey, ham, 3 kinds of stuffing a lot of other good stuff. Mike also made great pies but forgot to cook the lizard. Rutaga? Mike and Henry read a very good book about meat. And Mommy cooked too.

Mike also has a cool motorcycle. Mommy held you on the motorcycle because your legs are still not long enough to reach the ground. You discovered the wonders of a washing machine and Nana Paula made Turkey sounds.
We went to the Atlanta Science Museum to see dinosaur bones (turkeys descended from reptiles). We saw a frog exhibit (people descended from amphibians) and they give you warts.

We also went to the Atlanta Aquarium. They had a lot of fish but herring and the gefilte fish were missing. You met some penguins and fish.


We ate in other restaurants like the Colonnade, LaFonda and an Indian and Mexican place and Mike and Dave got you a terrific new toy thing.

We also went to the Land Trust but didn’t see the Emu. The Emu may have been asleep or away for the holidays or hiding.
Thanksgiving is a dangerous time for Emus. They are afraid people will think they are Turkeys.

We all had a good time. Mike and Dave did good. You did too!
