Thanksgiving prep

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving.
Today I start the prep work.
I remember being a kid and just being in awe of the amazing spread of food that was put out by Mom and my Aunts. I wondered how in the world it all got made and how they made it so very yummy.
Now I am the mom.
Unfortunately we don't have any family within 200 miles of us, so it's just us.
But I still put out one hell of a meal.
Grilled/smoked turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, homemade mashed potato rolls, green beans, pumpkin pie, apple tart, and apple butter muffins.
I am the one doing the work, with the occasional help of my 15 year old daughter. 
    and I love it
      every minute of it
        I can't wait
