Thanksgiving Week is Here

It's already the weekend before Thanksgiving. Where did the time go? I love that there is so much to do here this weekend, but I've got lots of things to get done this weekend at home as we are traveling to Norfolk, MA for the holiday to visit with family (Phil and Andra) and also meet our newest granddaughter, Avery who is now two months old. Taking the Wegman's turkey dinner with us and lots of good Finger Lakes wine to share with everyone. It'll be a true "over the river and through the woods trip to Grandma's house" for sure except it's Grandma who is doing the traveling...just hope it doesn't end up that "Grandma got run over by a reindeer!" :-) Poppy will be making his famous scalloped oysters - always a family request. My favorite is usally the left overs actually. There's something about a hot, turkey sandwich the day after --it is so yum. You can also use the leftover dressing, turkey and gravy to layer in a casserole (turkey first, then gravy, then dressing on top). Just heat it til the dressing is a little crunchy on top and serve over or with rice. Yikes, I'm getting hungrier by the minute. Oh, well that's next week to look forward to. What's this weekend all about?



This weekend we'll spend with our 4-year-old grandson, Nicholas, and with all the snow hopefully we can make the first snowman of the year. This is the road to our cabin and Poppy and Nicholas are lovin' their winter walk. It'll be a popcorn and a movie night tonight for sure (that's tradition at Grandma and Poppy's house). We just bought the new movie Wall-E. I'll keep you posted on how Nicholas "reviews" it.




Safe travels to all who are traveling for the Thanksgiving weekend. Happy and healthy eating!
