The Turkey Are Coming to Palm Springs- A Calendar of Events for November 2007

The costumes have been packed away, and the candy is still being eaten. Another Halloween has come and gone in the village known as Palm Springs. Jeff and I only had a few trick or treaters at the house, which was a surprise because our little “Wisteria Lane” does not have any street lights.

Now it’s time to start going through my recipes and start planning the annual Diebley-Watts Thanksgiving bash. The Turkeys are coming!! Actually, my friend Sean and his partner Jason (Jeff’s cousin) do all the planning and cooking, we just supply the house.
