Today I hope to hear back from my Aunt that I can make the Thanksgiving mashed potatoes at home and bring them to her place to be reheated. Originally, she asked me to be at her place on the Cape Cod at 10 AM to peel the potatoes. This would mean I would have to leave the house by 7 AM and I just don't want to be up and on the road quite that early. She has hosted Thanksgiving for over 30 years. This year is a smaller gathering with only about 15 people attending.
