We’ll actually be going over to Carrie and Andy Olson-Manning’s house for Thanksgiving dinner later today.  However, while her husband, Andy, prepared the turkey in their kitchen, Carrie and her friend Misty came to our house to make some side dishes while we did the same.  Naturally, the dogs came, too!
