We are thankful

Today, about 2/3 of our family was able to gather together for Thanksgiving, which in itself is something to be thankful for. The turkey was huge...and we were thankful that it was free!



It was accompanied by mashed potatoes, dressing, gravy, green beans, sweet potatoes, relish tray, stuffed celery, jello, homemade rolls, cranberry sauce and such, and, since it is our family, it ended with pie...lots of pie!



Many of us were thankful that these two decided to snack early and then sleep through dinner.



When we weren't eating, we had a good time visiting, catching up and watching the children play.

It didn't take long to demolish the feast as many of the group participated in the town 5k 'Turkey Trot' first thing in the morning to work up an appetite.

Just so you know, everyone there was thankful for something...although some needed some assistance in writing down their thoughts.

Nancy: Roger, 5 great kids and their spouses, and 18 lovely grandchildren
