“Getting Thanksgiving dinner on the table requires a lot of planning,” Grandma Josie explained to Josh as he washed his hands.
“I started cooking the turkey first thing this morning,” Grandma Josie said. She turned the light on inside the oven, and Josh peeked inside. “I learned my lesson the year I waited too long to put it in.”
While the turkey cooked, Josh helped Grandma Josie prepare her famous cranberry sauce. Shortly afterward, Josh peeled a mountain of potatoes, which Grandma Josie cubed and set carefully into a pot of boiling water. Close to mealtime, Grandma Josie tossed a salad while Josh set the table.
