Well we're on the final countdown to Thanksgiving and it is going to be a busy few days. I have about 47 committed souls coming for dinner. I revised the menu a little: 2 turkeys, ham, dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy, candied sweet potatoes, scalloped oysters, cranberries, green beans, fordhook lima beans, corn pudding, frog-eye fruit salad, relish tray, jello salad, red cabbage and homemade hot rolls. Desserts will be 4 pumpkin pies, 2 pecan pies, 2 lemon meringue pies, 1 mincement, boiled raisin cake, applesauce cake with hot milk frosting and turkey cutout cookies. Jeri is making mashed potatoes, pumpkin pies and pecan pies. Liz is making jello salad and nut cups. Dana is putting together relish tray. I am making all the rest. I have most of the shopping done but will run into town Tuesday am and get the last minute stuff. We'll set up all the tables and decorate Wednesday evening. Hans and Shawntell have to work Thanksgiving day so Phill and I will have Carley. She is such a good baby so not expecting any problems. We are going to eat at 4 pm and they don't get off work until 5 so guess they'll have to do the warmup routine. Of course if we get it all together by 4 it will be a miracle.

Took Phill to ENT doctor last week and he ordered a needle biopsy by his ear also said the CT scan of the neck showed some nodules in his thyroid. We were supposed to have the biopsy last Tuesday but when we got there the doctor wouldn't do it until he is off the coumadin and on lovenox. We are waiting for the PC Dr. to make those arrangements. Also saw the oncologist for the colon cancer and he said everything still looks good, don't have to go back for 6 months this time.

Phill had his birthday on the 12th and on the same day his little yorkshire terrier Tinker died. Tink would have been 15 in Dec. It sure has been hard on Phill as that dog sat in his lap 24/7. The house is so quiet that it is a little eerie. Georgie never barks and he sure misses Tink.

The garden is kaput...froze hard a few days ago. We were still picking tomatoes and peppers. Gonna miss those good tomatoes, my herbs are more protected and they haven't frozen yet. Maybe they can handle colder weather.

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!!!
