We've spent the entire day doing yard work and sweeping and mopping. (Five cats leave hair and *cack* everywhere.) We're loaded for bear. Six adults, four grandkids, and I wild-carded a couple of strays into the equation. 15 pound bird, mashed potatoes my way, sage stuffing with pecans and cranberries, cornbread dressing (wouldn't be Thanksgiving for the missus without it), candied yams with marshmallows melted on top, two (or as needed, three) loaves of fresh, country oven baked bread, cranberry sauce, apple and pumpkin pies with the toppings, and two bottles of Escher Riesling Rhine (couldn't find a Liebfraumilch anywhere this year, darn it - oh, well, at least it's German). The kids are bringing a baked ham, green bean casserole, deviled eggs, more baked goods, adult and kid beverages, and probably a couple of guns. Weather is supposed to be sunny and 65, but have plenty of firewood for when the sun goes down..........
Given that the Redskins are playing on SNF and The Walking Dead comes on at 9, I'll be running in and out of here (and the living room and den) for a couple hours like a rat on crack.......
