There is a point in time each year when Daisy and I sit down and plan out the holidays and the first holiday we address is Thanksgiving. We had that discussion late last week on Friday evening and the first item on the agenda was turkey dinner.
Our family has a lot to be thankful for this year. Despite the COVID shut down of the economy here in the US I was fortunate to keep my employment. At the onset of the shutdown we feared that the industry I’m employed in would take a big hit financially as the shutdown was starting when business usually started ramping up for the spring.
Things started out...
Things started out slowly but by the middle of May when people realized that the lock-down was going to carry on through the summer things began to change.
Money earmarked for summer vacations by families was used to enhance their backyards since they would be spending the summer in those backyards. Business not only caught up with the normal seasonal demand it exceeded it by double digits and remained strong all summer long.
Another factor that...
Another factor that contributed to my side business doing well was the low mortgage interest rates fueled a housing boom here in Texas.
New homes sales have been at an all time high for the last three months and the bulk of my side business work is tied to new home sales. The perfect storm that was COVID19 ended up benefiting our family but we know we were very, very fortunate and most people weren’t from COVID19.
So our discussion...
So our discussion Friday night not only was what we were going to do for Thanksgiving dinner but what could we do to help some families in need. We set a number of turkeys we plan on ordering and have filled all the spots except for two.
I like running contests on here but this is not “contest worthy” if you know what I mean.
Daisy and I...
Daisy and I would like to provide a smoked turkey from our family to two families in need of a turkey for Thanksgiving.
We figure most people don’t like to admit when times are rough financially and would not be inclined to respond on an open forum like HIVE.
With that said, if you are in need of a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner send me an email before Nov.1, 2020 to sultnpapper@gmail.com . We don’t need or want too much information either, just let us know how many people are to be fed. If you care to share your plight that is up to you, we trust that if you send an email that you are in need.
Put “Thanksgiving Turkey” in the subject line of the email so I don’t miss it.
On Nov.1...
On Nov.1 we’ll select two families from the emails to receive a turkey and we’ll contact those selected by email to get your shipping address so we can have the turkey shipped to you in time for Thanksgiving dinner.
The turkey is fully cooked and just needs heated in the oven before serving. The turkey would arrive the Friday before Thanksgiving and would need to refrigerated but not frozen until Thanksgiving Day.
No other mention will be made about this once we have received at least two emails from people in need. We aren’t doing this for publicity by any means; we just are thankful we are in the position to be able to help.
One last thing; this offer of the turkey is for folks in continental USA (48 states) only. Shipping restrictions come into play so we can’t get around those.
Have a great week,
Sult
