Getting started

And now it's time to start the Thanksgiving prep. We're getting more of a handle on who's going to be here and when and for how long...always subject to change, of course.

Today, I made some soup for dinner tomorrow and moved the turkey from the freezer to the fridge. And I made some of the dill oyster crackers. I'm tentatively planning to have lasagna on Thursday night, country ham on Friday, and the turkey/fixings on Saturday. This, too, is always subject to change. Plus leftovers, naturally.

We've definitely decided to sign up for the Rice Alumni trip to Iceland next summer. And then, we need to decide about what else we can do after that. We always think we need to make our flights count.
