It seems Grandma sent Grandpa out shopping one day for the coming weeks provisions. So after a long night of working, Grandpa headed downtown Youngstown to all his favorite grocery stores for a day of shopping. Having collected all his canned goods and non-perishable items, Grandpa stopped at the meat shop on East Federal, to buy a turkey. The store owner wrapped the turkey (live) with twine and handed it over to Grandpa for his journey home. After walking just a few blocks the turkey became restless, too restless to handle along with all of the other bags of groceries, so Grandpa stopped and reassessed the situation. Grandpa then unwrapped the twine from around the turkey, and carefully crafted it into a collar and leash… He then put the collar on the turkey, picked up his groceries, and walked the turkey home!!! One can only imagine the look on Grandma’s face and her trademark laughter as she watched Grandpa walking down Trusedale Avenue with a turkey on a leash!!!!!
