Wow! I got 15 correct. It helped that I watched a show on the Food Network this afternoon that had Thanksgiving trivia!  ;) Did you know that the Detroit Lions have played a football game on every Thanksgiving since 1939 except one year during WW2?

If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.

Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself.

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning how to dance in the rain.

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

Wow, I am a turkey genious!  15 right!   Let me qualify that I live in North Carolina---turkey capital of the US.   Every year on the news around the holidays, there is always lots of turkey facts---guess I have learned more about turkeys than I thought.
