Oh my goodness, I feel like a stuffed pig, or maybe I should say a stuffed turkey!
I know you all are probably very busy making preparations for Turkey Day. Take it easy, don't work too hard, make sure you pace yourself. Happy Thanksgiving Eve!

Baked potato dinners are great. We do the same thing sometimes. Everybody likes it.
Happy Thanksgiving!
We were just talking about doing this for one of our Sunday Evening Church get togethers.

Hi, Carol, thank you for being so faithful to stop by & see me. I wish you and yours a very Happy Thanksgiving.
Your table looked so pretty, and I'm sure your guests enjoyed this get together. The youth at our church do a baked potato dinner to raise money. There are always so many toppings, I feel like I need 2potatoes! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. laurie
