Evening everyone....

Usually I’m already a couple hours in on cooking prep and baking for Thanksgiving. But between COVID and my dad passing away, there is no holiday for us this year.

I am cooking a small turkey for me and mom but that’s about the extent of it.

My main goal tomorrow will be to keep my mom occupied and hopefully from breaking down.

On a different note....
