Gearing up for the Thanksgiving napfest.

Tomorrow is our family Thanksgiving! Start of delicious food week! We were having the debate with friends if the turkey or the sides are better. I still don't think we came to a conclusion. It's all just so amazing. There is just something about having potatoes come straight out of the oven, stuffing smelling up the house along with the turkey and the crescent rolls. My stomach is growling just thinking about it! We have double almost all the recipes so we can all have leftovers. Works for me. We are only here 2 days next week!

Since, not sense, we are leaving for AR on Wednesday morning we are starting to get everything ready now. I have 3 lists made! A Jake list, our list and our "extra's list". It's pretty sad all the things we have to take on this 5 day trip down to Bella Vista. We did do most of our grocery shopping here though. That was nice to do instead of going down there, the day before Thanksgiving and having to deal with the crazy retirees of Bella Vista! As long as we have 10 items or less, we will be out of there in 10 minutes or less! It will be nice to have a mini vacation. I don't really consider it much of a vaca though. Have you met my son? Oh well, I love him! At least it's suppose to be in the 60's all week so the outdoors will wear him out! For the first time in 5 years, Michael's parents are staying with Gigi. That means, our family, Laurel's family and David will have the rental house to ourselves!! Wooo hooo!! We are looking forward to hours of conversations and games!

One thing about going down to The Vista is we have quite a bit of down time! I have always been into autobiographies. Not matter who it is. It's always interesting to find out how someone because they way they are, how someone got to where they are at or just to see their point of view. A friend of mine highly recommended Sarah Palin's new book. I thought I would give it a whirl! Especially since this friend really isn't to reading and the book just came out and they are done with it. I think the next one I want to read is Michael J Fox "Always Looking Up" but I have to get through this one! I also want to read Hp 6 and 7 again. They were so good!

PS-
This is only for 1 person who had doubt. Did you see how much it made on Friday? $70mil! One and half stars doesn't stop the die hards! I still love ya!
