Woke up to a blanket of snow on the ground...not unusual for Thanksgiving day in Michigan. Looks like its already melting but it's a pretty sight.

I let the ducks, geese and chickens out this morning and for many of them its their first snow so they kind of stop dead in their tracks as they exit the door as if to say..."whoa! whats that?!?!"
But then after a moment of wonder they went on their merry way.

Today we are going to Grand Rapids for Thanksgiving dinner.
Our son Lee Jr. and his wife Abbi are hosting this year which is just fine with me because I've been working so many hours its nice to not have to get the house all spiffed up for company. We all pitch in and bring a dish. Mom brings pies, daughter Holly appetizers, I'm bringing my sweet potato, squash, apple, w/pecan, dried cherries bake... and other family members are bring something as well.
Abbi is making the turkey stuffing and mashed potatoes and gravy.
BTW Holly told me she read the other day there are 500 calories in just one piece of pecan pie! YIKES!!!
Can you imagine how many calories are in a TG dinner?!
Well lets not think about that today...theres always Monday.

So what are ya'll doing today?
