THANKSGIVING
Planning ahead.............
The # of thanksgivings that lie ahead for me are getting fewer..........so I will enjoy everything at our big meal.
we also have a tradition of anyone who cares to... comes back Friday and raids the fridge for a meal of leftovers
( in the microwave)
Then I will pack up everything that is left (except a little turkey ) and send it home with them
