Mom rented a cabin about an hour from here . My brother and his family and Dad are coming up . I work Wed but have off Thursday, Fri and Sat and we are going up after work.

It will be vegetarian potluck. Although some of the cooking will be done there. I wasn't sure what to do so I'm guessing Mac and cheese . The main course will be stuffed butternut squash .

Also Saturday is a baby shower for M's nephew's new baby. This will be their third. The oldest is 3. The nephew got is girlfriend pregnant in high school. Her senior year I think. And they got married the next year. But he has a really good union job can't remember doing what though

Feasting with my parents, catered by Whole Foods and CSA delivery. Mom said she’d make the stuffing and sweet potatoes (we have tried WF versions and they are not as good as ours) ahead of time, so all I have to do is show up and help warm things up and probably set the table. We are skipping the turkey this year in favor of Root Vegetables en Croute. I’m thinking of bringing the vertical tasting of pinot noirs I’ve been sitting on for a couple of years, find out if my complete lack of climate control has utterly ruined them or not.
