I will be with my brother (5 minutes away) and his family. His two daughters and their families (from California) will be there, and I am always invited. I asked Melanie what I should bring and she told me vanilla ice cream. She has chocolate syrup and whipped cream already and the ice cream will be for pie too. Easy Peesy. I'm glad because it's getting harder and harder for this old body to cook and bring a lot of stuff.

I always liked left-over Thanksgiving dinner, so I bought a turkey tenderloin, cranberry sauce, stuffing mix, green bean casserole fixings. I already have a can of sweetened yams. That's enough for me. I don't need anything more. I might buy an already prepared pumpkin pie. Everything will be so simple to prepare and I'll have enough leftovers to last several days. I might even prepare some meals to freeze for later.
