Hi Robert - we aren&#39;t headed to Texas at all for the holidays - just Kevin.  I was just telling him which route we usually take.  We will be going in April.  That is the route we always take when we go to Lubbock, to see my nephew or to Dallas.  In April, we are going to spend a week with our friends who live there, but they have moved up to Lake Whitney, which is around the Crawford area, so at some point we will have to change directions but I am sure we will still head the same route and then cutoff somewhere because I think we need to be on I-35 to get there.  She and I will head to Dallas for a Harry Hines shopping run while we are there...<br /><br />Ed, congrats on your promotion.  They couldn&#39;t have picked a better man.  Hope you and Roe have the best of cruises.<br /><br />Shari, I am so jealous of you and Jackie.  My sister-in-law is expecting her 4th grandchild and my best friend, Bev, is expecting her 3rd.  Seems to be a baby boom going on&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Well, I have all the pans and serving dishes I will be using to cook Thanksgiving dinner, out on the kitchen table and the canned and all the ingredients that do not need refrigeration, inside each, so I am set to go when I start cooking tomorrow.  Has anyone ever done their stuffing in the crock pot?  I was looking online and there were raves about how moist it is and also frees up space in the oven that way...
