the calm before the storm

I am enjoying my last few minutes of laziness. 

We are celebrating Thanksgiving today, because Dave was unable to come last weekend.  Don is at the butcher shop picking up the turkey and then he’ll amble over to the grocery store to get the things on my list for the rest of the feast. 

We will be having the usual, roast turkey, stuffing, gravy, mash potatoes, sweet potato mash, brussel sprouts, cranberry sauce and of course pie.

Don has requested apple pie, which actually is one of my favorites, however, tradition requires that I make either a pecan or a pumpkin pie and usually both.

However, Emily’s not here, and neither one of the boys is bringing someone, so making THREE pies for only four people to devour, might be a little extreme.  Not to mention, we will have already stuffed ourselves on dinner and after that, usually managing to down one slice is a feat of courage.

Anyway, I’m enjoying the lull.  Oops!  I just heard his key in the front door.  I’m off to cook!
