Thanksgiving Eve

Today is the eve of one of my two favorite holidays, THANKSGIVING!! This holiday is the pinnacle of my family's motto: "There is always fun to be had when you are surrounded by good people, good conversation, and good food". I am sure this motto is quite old in my family, but I recently learned that my Uncle Alec was very fond of this. He always loved to enjoy meals with good friends and family and spend his time chatting it up with everyone.

It seems like we will have a lot to chat about this year, too!!! ;) My Dad is coming with me and Dan to Dan's parents house for dinner with Nan and Pa. Later on, there will be dessert with the entire family. If our wedding was any indication, our families like to talk! HA!

Although I like cooking, Dan's mom is doing the bulk of it this year! (or all of it). I will be bringing celery stuffed with allouette cheese (one of my moms Thanksgiving and holiday recipe's!

Sunday, KK and I went to Salem and it was fun! Salem is a really cute town and we had a lot of fun at the Salem Witch Museum. I thought it was very interesting to re-learn about the Salem Witch Trials. We were going to get tarot card readings but they were super expensive and we just wanted to do them for fun, so we passed on that. Later, we ate dinner at this super cute cafe called The Gulu-Gulu cafe. It was really good and we both got Italian Sodas too. (which, by the way, I never came across while I was in Italy.

Today marks a day filled with errands and chores. I need to get my car fixed, inspected, go to the grocery store, drop stuff off at the dry cleaners, go to the pharmacy, drop clothes in the donation bin, donate some books to the library, do a little bit of holiday shopping, cook dinner, clean both bathrooms, and clean the bedroom. oh yea, and do two loads of laundry!! and I thought I had a day off!! ;)
