Thanksgiving Plans

Hi all! Just a note to certain persons that they do not need to count my attempts to keep up with this blog thing. If this works today it's because Zach found a way to do this via e-mail. Ter- I will try it again from on the blog but not tonight.

Anyway, Bobbie, if it's ok, I think Dad and I will come Friday. I don't have to work so we can start early enough to get there in daylight. For us old fogies, it's nice to see where one is going! Do you want some particular food contribution? Could bring my premade mashed potato thing to warm up or stuff for scalloped potatoes-- or whatever sounds good to you. Sounded last night like Dave and Melissa were thinking about joining the party.

I am interested in the wide variety of charities presented for consideration this Christmas-- I think among those considered should be the Mom/Dad Retirement Fund. That is somewhat dear to my heart and seems pretty unreachable some days!!

Jill and Las Vegas Dave, are you considering a Thanksgiving visit, really? That would be fun-- Miss you both!

Ter, am thinking about your request for entertainment ideas for Taylor. Does your church have a youth group for her age? You probably already thought about that. It's a little early for sledding and ice skating, but I loved those things. Of course it there is a stable that gives riding lessons ( and one can afford it) she might like polishing those skill with a better instructor than her grandma.

OK, I'm done for tonight. Kevin, I do enjoy reading the postings and comments. Thanks for doing the work to make this happen!! Love Mom

Hi mom. Friday sounds just fine! Depending on what time you think you'll arrive, we could wait and have the big meal on Saturday. And, also depends on what Dave and Melissa have in mind.

I'm open to just about anything. And yes, I'll probably accept some help with the cooking. I don't think I can pull off what Tammy did last year in Minnesota, what Melissa does each Halloween or what you do basically every time we all descend upon the household!

But, if I know when everyone is coming, and just how many people plan to come, I can probably whip up a few fairly decent dishes. The stuffing, however, WILL be Stovetop!

Maybe we can talk next weekend and iron out some plans.

And, if I've lured anyone else with the thought of my accomplished cooking skills, let us know when you'll be down here!
