After a weekend of laughing little ladies and super spicy food.   Found fifty  pounds of turkey &#8211; half frozen, half fresh &#8211;  and a mile of garland.  A couple of table cloths and some candles.  I&#8217;ve sent for reinforcements.

But it&#8217;ll be fun. <\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanksgiving is at the brother&#8217;s this year.
