LIFE SEEMS TO BE MOVING VERY FAST, AS WE ROLL INTO THE HOLIDAYS!.........EINSTEIN'S THEORY OF RELATIVITY, CERTAINLY IS TRUE!

WE EVEN HAD MARIA OVER..........PRINCE'S DOGGIE GIRLFRIEND!

AND SO THE DAY WENT QUITE WELL!

WE WERE UP EARLY TO STUFF THE 20 LB. BUTTERBALL TURKEY........I USED MY MOTHER'S ITALIAN STUFFING RECIPE, AND A BREAD STUFFING ON THE SIDE.

WE HAD JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING YOU CAN IMAGINE!....JIMMY'S PASTA SAUXE WITH  SAUSASAGE ZITI...........MEATBALLS AND SAUSAGE.....................

THE ANTIPASTO WAS DELICIOUS.....DEVILED EGGS, OLIVES, ALL KINDS OD COLD CUTS AND CHEESES, INCLUDING PROVOLONE, AND PROSCUTTA.
