Thanksgiving Is A'Comin'

Sue and I are looking forward to having family members come to our house for Thanksgiving. Sue's dad, Howard, will be arriving on Wednesday afternoon and Kris and Mark will be driving up from Cincinnati later that evening.

On Thanksgiving Day, Mike and Kim will make the long drive from their house and with them will be Kim's parents Vern and Marian, who are coming up from Springfield.

That will make a total of nine people for dinner, which is a larger than usual number for us. It will be more like some of our Thanksgivings when the kids were young. Can't wait. Sammy and Zep are coming with Kris and Mark, so Wickett will have company too. We plan to have an adult table, a kid table and a dog table.

Kris and Mark are bringing a fresh, free-range turkey . I'm hoping that it doesn't walk in the front door with them. Although, many of the Thanksgiving turkeys that were featured for dinner on the farm were crossed off the list of living creatures by my Dad. I was around to watch, but I never was actually the perp. If a live turkey comes from Cincinnati, it will become free range again in the back yard and we will head for Cracker Barrel. That's the same backup plan that I have in case Zeppy eats the turkey.

Mike and Kim are bringing pies, which I can handle with no problem at all.

Here's a little Thanksgiving music to help get you in the proper frame of mind.
