violin recital, followed by family dinner

What's buzzing at our house today, you may ask?
-the harvest table in the kitchen is decked with festive linens and trays of goodies.
-ladder-back chairs ring the living room.
-the large coffee-maker (makes up to 60 cups!) is filled with cold water and freshly roasted and ground beans.
-music stands are lined up around the piano.
-the pianist has actually played through the stack of music provided by the violin students!
-two enormous casseroles of turkey pot-pie (I can cook other things, really) rest in the fridge, transforming the question "what's for dinner?" into a non-issue.
-#1 Daughter is singing and dancing at our Jr. Church's dress rehearsal.
-#1 Son is running sound & lights there.
-Hubby is helping the men of our church winterize a friend's home.
-Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle, Aunt, and two cousins are on their way here for the weekend.
-Friends #7 and #12 have allowed me to boss them around all morning, and now are probably happy that the house is finally ready for the onslaught.
