drive carefully if you travel this holiday weekend.

Is everyone leaving town? I'm staying put.

My youngest sister just had her first baby (a boy) last night at
11:59 p.m. My mom drove to NC from NY to be with her, so Dad and
I are left to prepare and serve dinner. He's always done the
turkey, so it shouldn't really be a big deal, but all I've ever
had to worry about is preparing a few of the sides and desserts.
Now I have to be the hostess with the mostest.

I've started a list of everything that has to be done before
family arrives, and I'm finally realizing why Thanksgiving is
*not* one of my mother's favorite holidays. Wow--it's a lot of
work!!

Hope everyone else has a lovely holiday. Drive careful!
