I'll handle the bird, stuffing gravy, and a vegetable but would like help w/ the following;

Wishlist.......

2- people to make 5lbs. each of smash taters. That will give us 10lbs. and should be enough.

Appetizers, desserts, and 4 or 5 2 ltr. bottles of soda.

Lisa will be making 2 pumpkin pies, 1 regular and 1 gluten free.

That should wrap it up, however if I have missed anything please feel free to point it out.

He is now out of the hospital. Will be staying with his parents through the weekend!

Happy Birthday....Quinn!

Bobbo update....

Spent about an hour or so with Bobbo today. Still not eating, water and juice only. Looks good!
Has a great staff caring for him. He is hoping to be released Friday, and then spend a few days with Mom & Dad. He appreciates all of the support and kindness he has received from everyone!

SJM Info

Just thought I'd share a few things with all of you. First, SJM has a school concert on Wednesday, November 2nd @ 7:00 p.m. at the high school. Should be a fabulous performance, as always. The other thing is that SJM is going to NYC next April with her chorus group from school. The trip is quite exciting for them as they will be seeing a broadway play while they are there, among other fun sights to see. In anticipation of this trip, SJM is participating in the first fund-raiser, which starts next Tuesday, the 25th. She will be selling fresh fruits from Florida, as well as coffees, teas and hot cocoas! I am putting the link to the school's website so that if we are unable to get the flyer to you timely, or if you would like to browse it before hand, you can feel free to do so at your leisure. Thanks and let me know if you have any questions...
