Preparing for the Holidays

The holidays are just around the corner. Mom, Aunt Madge and I have been busy getting the house ready for all the guests we have coming in at Thanksgiving. Aunt Madge has nearly renovated the bathroom and it looks great! She is so talented with a hammer and drill. I took apart Mom's room and we got everything dusted, washed and organized. She whined a bit about sorting through a mountain of paperwork, but she got it done and vowed never to let it stack up again. Mom is so proud of her new room she actually gave tours!

Christopher will be home from school soon - can't wait to see him. Charly misses him too. We've been planning activities for when Tommy and Joyce are here. First of all we're going to have a birthday party for them both as at the time of their birthdays they were displaced due to Hurricane Katrina. It going to be like an open house type of affair with Mom making corn chowder, chili and corn bread. And birthday cake too!

Patty, Lynette and the kids will arrive Wednesday. We'll all be busy preparing for Thanksgiving. Mom has on the menu turkey, ham, dressing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, gravy, green beans, and who knows what else! Tommy is bringing his turkey fryer so he can fry a turkey for dinner too. What fun!
