9. It's just not Christmas eve dinner, but Christmas Day as well

Sat Dec 21, 2019, 12:39 PM

Dec 2019

I have a Turkey to cook with all the sides. I may go to Publix today and order the sides, but I still have to heat them up. It's breakfast and feeding them while they're all here. So really can't depend on neighbors and/or friends. They'll have their own cooking to do.

If it can be repaired then it's all good, but if not........driving off a cliff.
