YUM on the pumpkin cheesecake!! I am hosting this year but am trying to keep it simple since we've had such a busy traveling schedule lately. I had thought about ordering from Kroger, but the hubster likes watching the turkey bake, so I told him I would cook a few things and leave it at that! I hope you have a most wonderful Thanksgiving AnnMarie!!Benitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02712521705008463049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-52018938840931777672015-11-23T13:29:16.445-06:002015-11-23T13:29:16.445-06:00When I saw the poem on her blog, it just made me s...When I saw the poem on her blog, it just made me stop....it is very beautiful and such a wonderful sentiment at Thanksgiving!

I don't have to do anything for Thanksgiving but set the table, so I am ready! There are only three of us every year so we are ordering our dinner from a local grocery store, and it is fabulous! I just had to buy some local apple cider and a pumpkin cheesecake from Trader Joe's. Done! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
