Thanksgiving shopping

It's afternooon - busy morning - grocery shopping for Thanksgiving. Found two turkeys the right size. Leg of lamb to be in tomorrow. Sweet potato souffle, macaroni and cheese, cherry o' cheese pie, cornbread dressing, blue cheese potatoes, ambrosia, pecan pie, ingredients now spread all over the kitchen! Got the Chex snack mix made and will work on one thing at a time till they're all ready. Still need whipping cream and no doubt several more trips to the store will occur before it's all together. What a fun thing to anticipate everyone being here - some of the fun is in the anticipation and preparation. The big anticipation this year is to go to the drive-in theater. It reopened a year ago and I'm sure the kids will enjoy that experience. My boys used to enjoy going in the pick-up truck and sitting in the back in butterfly chairs! Don't know how we'll work it out this year. -----Just walked out to the mailbox and once again, the leaves are so very beautful this year, don't you think? I don't recall the bright color hanging around so long before.
