roasting my turkey, the grand finale

I'm delighted to report that the turkey was excellent, as were the sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, gravy, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, rice stuffing, and on and on.  The pies, cake and cookies were also delicious.  So many things to be thankful for.  And today I'm thankful that all of the dishes are washed and put away, and, with the help of four industrious grandchildren my Christmas tree is up, decorated and the whole house (at least inside) is ready for Christmas.  I'm counting my blessings tonight.  Tomorrow I'll worry about calories.
