Getting Ready for Dinner

Our 27 pound Turkey. Auntie and I were at Costco Tuesday and couldn't resist this one. Good left-overs for tomorrow.


Natalie loves to baste the turkey. So she takes over that job every year and does a FABULOUS job. Always deep golden brown and tasty.
See what I mean! It just makes you drool in anticipation. Humm..... now the only question is: white meat or dark meat??? What is your preference? I'm a white meat lover. Duff loves dark meat.
Beautiful table. I love these fall colors. They are 'grounded' to me. Simple, yet rich in textures and symbolism. I love all sitting together. My family: my greatest blessings.
Food, wonderful food. Rolls, green beans, corn, mashed potatoes, boiled potatoes, (we are a split family when it comes to potatoes: 1/2 of us love mashed, 1/2 of us love boiled), stuffing, turkey, cranberry sauce, and red cabbage--german tradition.

Sitting down and having a family prayer of thanks is one of my favorite parts of Thanksgiving. We have so much we are thankful for. The two at the top are each other and the gospel.
