The final preparation for Thanksgiving was in full gear today. The groceries, wine and liquor have been purchased, the turkey awaits pick-up at the local butcher and the dining room lays peacefully for one more day before being filled with family, food, drink and laughter.

Tomorrow the kitchen will come alive with the baking and food prep for the big meal.  Following the prep, a trip to a few local micro-breweries will take place to ensure we have a variety of craft beers; the biggest challenge will be selecting which 2 or maybe 3 breweries to go to…it’s a chore…but someone has to do it! But, in all honesty it is a nice wind-down from what will be a busy day and a little peace for my husband and I before the the mayhem commences. And then as we near the end of the day, the table will be set, the serving plates, bowls and utensils will be laid out in preparation for the big meal.
