Today's scene is one of a warm, country kitchen. The smell of a turkey roasting mixes with the exotic smell of coconuts and almonds. Outside, there is a crisp, cool tingle in the air. The once emerald leaves of spring have turned into an autumn ember. What's this? 4 giggling girls, with abnormally large cherub cheeks, huddling in the kitchen. Ah yes, this must be the Garst country kitchen. For what we see before us, is the traditional "Chubby Bunny" kick-off of Thanksgiving!! The girl who can stuff the most marshmallows in her mouth at a time, AND live to tell about it, is the WINNER!! Of course, the Garst girls know the danger of the game. Why, the scandal of last year's death by marshmallow still hangs over their heads. We all miss Mother, but she just couldn't handle.....'Chubby Bunny'! Alas, Mother found out the hard way that 8 jumbo sized marshmallows did not lead her to the sweet taste of victory, but left her with the sticky sting of death. Let us take a moment of silence to remember the loved one lost.............................................
