Thanksgiving...

Lord.

I need to get on the cleaning/planning/shopping part, huh?

We've got company coming over and I have a basic menu:

Cheese Ball (AB's making this)
Relish Tray (L's dad)
Turkey (Mr. Bird)
Gravy
Ham (Mr. Bird)
Dressing
Mashed Potatoes (Chil and Jen)
Sweet Potatoes (Miss L)
Cranberry Sauce
Green bean casserole
Layer Salad
Rolls
Cranberry salad
Apple salad (Miss L)
Banana Pudding (Chil and Jen)
Pecan pie
Pumpkin pie
fudge (AB)

*looks and sighs a little and starts a grocery list*

This is our first Thanksgiving without Terrie. I really should have gone home last year. I'm not sure the AB will ever forgive me for missing her Maw-maw's last good, coherent weekend.
