Thanksgiving 2013 Planning & Zoning

Thanksgiving one of my most favorite holidays.  A holiday that should be practiced more often than once a year and I guess we do in other ways just a different menu.  The greatness of this season is wrapped up in family, food and of course giving thanks.  Here is a picture of my preparations for this great event.  I keep a book, you know journal, that list my prior menu, shopping list and guest attending.  I refer to this each year.  It is full of list, page numbers, recipes, successes and failures.  I either cheer myself on for the new found recipe or say DO NOT MAKE AGAIN....  Two years ago November 23, 2011 we went out to buy our turkey but never made it to the grocery store and came home with a bundle of joy named Lillie Catherine.  Soooo we had sub sandwiches from a local grocery for Thanksgiving lunch but we were giving much thanks that Mother and baby were home and healthy.  Thanksgiving 2012 was awesome!  We all ate and ate and ate including Lillie Catherine.  In fact she liked her turkey dinner so much that she gave up baby food that very day.  This year the turkey was  bought early and the shopping for food began last week at a grocery store where my other favorite granddaughter, Grace Jacqueline works.  So excited to begin the cooking and preparations.  We will be having a surprise guest but I can't say who he is.  I will send a picture at a later date.  He want be joining us at the table but he will keep a look out for snowflakes and monitor the temperature from my covered porch.  Blessings to each and every one of you and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
