I was kind of procrastinating thinking about Thanksgiving this year. You may think it is a little early to start procrastinating, but let me tell you about Thanksgiving at our house. This year we will have John's 5 siblings, their spouses and kids, and Aunt Ann Marie. This adds up to 26 people. And right now you are thinking..."wimp, what's the big deal"? Well, what if I told you that those 26 people arrive on Wednesday and leave on Saturday? Yes. Uh huh. That is Thanksgiving.
So, as usual, when faced with a lot of plans to make, I just choose not to think about it. This sometimes works. But mostly it ends up with me cursing myself, and a family running for cover from the Beast. But I was prepared to procrastinate anyway when much to my surprise I got a package from my sisters-in-law. Inside, turkey-ware. Turkey salt and peppers, turkey butter dish, and turkey napkins. "Couldn't resist how cute these were and how perfect with your dishes! Hope you don't have them already", read the card.
Well ladies, no worries, until today I did not have the proper turkey-ware for our feast. And not only did you remind me how much there is to do to prepare for our festive feast of a weekend, you got me moving. In fact, tonight I am trying out a new side dish and dessert using parsnips of course.
Thanks for the gift, for thinking of me and for getting me moving.
Step 1: Get turkey-ware. Check.
