Taking a Break

The pies are made, and the turkey is stuffed and in the oven. I'm a little behind my timeline. Right now I'm looking at the turkey coming out of the oven around 3:30 or so.
I should never have put the turkey in the freezer when I got it. It was only partially thawed this morning. So I had to do the cold water thaw. All things considered, it only went in the oven 45 minutes later than I hoped, so that's not too bad.
Now I have a couple hours before I get the potatoes peeled and cooking for mashed potatoes, the green bean casserole made, and the sweet potato pie.
I have holiday classics playing on the TV and I'm going to interact until such time as I need to get back to the dinner.
I thought we were going to have sun today, but clouds are threatening. What they are threatening with is a good question. I keep seeing snowflakes on the forecast, but it just isn't cold enough for it.
Even though Thanksgiving was a week ago, it really feels like Thanksgiving today. The holiday classics make the day come alive.
My boys and friends will be here in 4 hours. It's going to be a wonderful day. I'll take pictures.
I hope you are all having a great day. Thanks for reading.

@just4him we are hosting, but not for a few months.I used to do a Saint Patty's Day party with friends each year (some drinking, but not tons, more about games and hanging with friends). decided since I am back, time to start it up again.
