This afternoon while frothing milk for my Double Tall Soy Mocha, a drink I make each and every day for myself, I thought about Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving is a big to do around here since I've hosted the big dinner for the past couple of years. I enjoy the 3 days of non stop cooking leading up to the time when eight adults wiggle their bottoms into seats set around a table just large enough for six. November is always a busy time of year. Located at the lower right side of my gigantic calendar, Thanksgiving gestures me forward like a neon light. Though this year, I've got even a bigger event to plan.
This year my husband and I will celebrate our 40th birthdays. He in November {the week of Thanksgiving} and me the week before Christmas. To celebrate we're hosting a cocktail party at our home the Saturday before Thanksgiving. That means, lots of party planning will occupy a good portion of my free time over the next few weeks.
I'll admit that I am a little nervous about hosting two big events and I'm also excited about it too. I mean really, I get to shop for party decorations, a cake, flowers, candles, wine, food, etc. It'll be so much fun. Or, it will be a disaster. Let's hope for fun.
As one of your lucky guests each year, I have to tell you how much we love the Thanksgiving meal you prepare. You can tell how much planning you do and it's always FANTASTIC. We are lucky to be part of it, and thank you in advance!
