Thanksgiving in Two Weeks
Okay people, Thanksgiving is only two weeks away and I have started cleaning up for it (I should be finished by Christmas or New Years at the latest), but I will have enough out of the way for the turkey dinner. Please use the comment section to let everyone know if you will be here, and what you might bring if anything. Thanks!
Here's a Thanksgiving photo from the farm. Would you look at the size of that turkey!

Laura wants to know where we found a turkey that big.
Meghan and I will be there and I will be bringing a pumpkin cheesecake and whip cream. I can also bring something else if needed...maybe mac & cheese or corn?
Art & I will be there and bringing bean green casserole, the same kind as in the many years past but with a bit of addition and it taste much better. Also a pumpkin cake. There was something else but I can't remember. Perhaps after I have some coffee.
Advise if you need 2 tables and 4 chairs.
Is that Little Stewart behind the glass?
Also...Mother is coming and bring rolls.
Art told me that I planned on make a carrot souffle. Recipe sounds like the one old Morrison's now Picadilly served/serves.
Art says to Laura, "It's an emu".
Hey! Where is everyone?
I have also decided that I can bring a little extra stuffing (from the box - Stove Top).
and Jackie...what other people are you referring to....Blaine is the host...then there is you and me and mother (whom you have spoken for). That really only leaves Tom and Gail to chime in.
Silly me...guess I thought we'd hear from those not coming.
Art also wondering if steriods were around long ago and perhaps that's why the turkey was so huge.
Yes people that is a turkey! Grandmother and Granddaddy had it, and of course a lot of farming took place in Loudoun at that time (we grew up on theirs). I remember going with them to get a turkey "on the hoof", so to speak, from a farm once. Those were bigger ones because they weren't growing them for modern "city" and suburban families requiring a 15 to 20 pound range. (Thomas said that Granddaddy remembers "herding", along with his Father, a flock of turkeys down route 7 to Alexandria to the market when he was a youngster.)
Yes, that is Stewart next to Grandmother. This was in the dining room of the house on the farm.
Elizabeth, we can take care of the corn so if you want to fix the mac n cheese, so that you daughter will eat it, that would be good.
Jackie, you must have gotten up late when you made that last post. It was 4:46 AM, and the one you started the other day with was as early as 4:42. (You don’t have to post each separate thought on a new comment, you can organize and put them on one.)
I just love it when my day starts with humor from brother Blaine!! I will chuckle on this one for awhile.
Karen and I will be coming down for Thanksgiving. I think we will be down on Wednesday. - John and Karen
Looking forward to John & Karen's visit. Have cleaned the junk off the bed for YOU!!! Everything else is a mess though. See you Wed!
