ReplyDeleteThese are really fun. It's hard to believe that Thanksgiving is just around the corner!
ReplyDeleteThis is the most iconic cookbook! My grandmother gave me one when I got married. I'll have to try that turkey and stuffing sandwich!!

Love all your answers Carla. I think a quiet Thanksgiving will be good and you can rejoice when Sam can be home for Christmas and you can celebrate at the Farm. So happy you will be leaving soon to meet up with him for graduation. Safe travels when you head out.
