Food, Football and Fun, but Most of All Family

   It has been a few days, but this morning I was thinking about Thanksgiving, maybe one of my favorite holidays.

   We drove to Arkansas for this festive period. As we get older, we keep thinking that we may not be able to do this much longer. The mileage is the same, but the rest stops are more frequent. But, we are still thankful to be able to do it.

   Thanksgiving is all about gratitude. Sure there is Football and there is Fun, and, of course Food…

   Donna took care of the bird, but Noel aced it with the rest.

   But most of all there is Family:

   And that family over across the mighty Mississippi keeps growing up and changing.

   Archer took time out to eat and play games with us, but spent a lot of time and effort with his computer and music scoring program. And he is good.

   Cady Gray and her mom enjoyed each other. (with Peg-Leg Santa)

   Noel, Donna and Cady Gray decorated the tree.

   Sure the weather outside was frightful, and the rain was not all that delightful, but we enjoyed each other.

   We ate a lot, we watched a lot, we played a lot…

   And I even got three wild cards and made my phase one time.

   And Thankful to be together for a time.

   It Was Good
