It's that time of year, again. Yeah, I know. It's my turn to host Thanksgiving dinner and, truth be told, I don't really mind it, as much as having to sit on a highway, or two, for a couple of hours, or twenty and dipping into the Halloween candy, while trying to convince four very hungry children that, YES, we are ALMOST there!
Besides, there's something, I dunno, cozy about stuffing a turkey, while listening to Jim Carrey's version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas and deciding if anyone cares whether the cranberry sauce is homemade, or not.
No, I haven't quite got it all planned out, yet. When it comes to family gatherings, we're pretty loosey-goosey at our house.

Good luck and may the force be with you!
