My son-in-law, Tracy Drake, is very busy in the kitchen making oyster stuffing for the turkey getting it ready for the oven. He rubs soft butter all over the turkey, salts, the places it in a cooking bag, in the big roaster and in the oven to bake four hours.

Tracy usually buys mashed potatoes already made from Publix freezer. Since I wanted real potatoes and red ones guess who peeled them on thanksgiving morning. You guessed right, it was 95 year old FLO.

We invented our lovely neighbors Pat Boyer, 100 year old Lee LaPage and her daughter Darlene to join us. They brought baked corn and a sweet potato marshmallow casserole plus two bottles of wine. One bottle was my kind Sutter Home White Zinfandel.
My daughter Pamela made a pecan pie and a pumpkin pie. She also did this beautiful table setting.

Pamela, Sarah and Pat, that is her arm, assist Tracy in draining turkey drippings from the roaster for gravy.

Some body forgot to tell me to smile

We each had so much to be thankful for. A delicious dinner, lovely friends and family in beautiful sunny Sarasota Florida.
