I'm excited about reaching November next week, but I'm still excited about being in October right now. There's so much to enjoy in the Bers that we've got to make the most of each day! I'll confess to having turkey thoughts before Halloween even gets here though.
Speaking of turkey, I picked up my Popeye's Cajun Tom last week. It's pre-cooked, so all we've got to do on the big day is thaw and heat. That'll save a lot of time with the turkey prep! I just hope that it's good.
Also, it's looking like we'll be celebrating two Thanksgivings: One on the actual day with my wife's family, and one on Black Friday with my family. My brother had to work on Thanksgiving Day this year, so they aren't going to get to come down until Friday. Kinda bummed, actually, because now we'll have a big gap in our Thanksgiving Day after the parade until around 5 p.m. We'll have cooking to do, of course, and I guess we can watch the dog show.
