11/15/08 Pinecone Turkeys

Twenty-five random children visited twenty-five random residents
of the nursing home on the hill overlooking the cemetery.

There was a volunteer playing the accordion somewhere nearby.
There was a cat in a cage in the corner.

Each child was given white glue and all the pieces of a pinecone turkey,
which were to be assembled in the presence of one elderly person.

Once completed, each pinecone turkey was left as a thanksgiving gift
for each elderly person, except for the one that was assembled by Hanna.

Staff found and delivered Hanna's great-aunt Florence, who took the place
of her previous partner and who got to keep Hanna's pinecone turkey.

It was a magical day.
