So, spoke to MIL tonight...she is preparing Gumbo, cornbread dressing; SIL is baking pies; I'm preparing two casserole's and now a turkey (SURPISE!!! ) MIL said that we had our meat dish in the gumbo...good thing I bought that small turkey today...now do I thaw it in the sink over night (I know that is not how you should do it--but, I want to cook it tomorrow)...may go soak it in a brine tonight in the sink (bad me)
best part I did not even tell MIL about the turkey; so, it will be a surprise hope SIL does not think along the same line as me...
eveyone have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving!!!

You knew that would happen for sure. I'd do it in the sink. I know they say you shouldn't. I normally don't but have been known too. I've since gone to fresh turkeys so I don't have to worry so much.
You all have a wonderful Thanksgiving. We are leaving at 7:30 in the morning and hope to get there around 4:30. I hope Don feels like driving. He spent the day with his Dad and Mom. Dad is not well. He is on 4 kinds of pain meds. I hate it for them so bad.

...I guess when Danny gets home we will try and go out and see about Christmas decorations in the yard...not doing the house yet maybe we will start tomorrow inside the tree won't come until two weekends from now...Danny has to have a real tree ( I do not care for real trees --allergic--but he burned my artifical tree two years ago--said it was time to get rid of it--I was tying it together with light strands 
. That is OK though, I don't mind.
Just thought I'd pop in over here, too!
