Thanksgiving 2019

We had an easy morning as most of the food had been prepared yesterday. We picked up Hannah and mom for church. David Obergfel had the Thanksgiving message and that message needs to be listened to again and again. It really was all about thanking God for the wonderful gift of Salvation. As soon as we were home the food was heated up then taken to Joan's house where about 60 of this family were celebrating Thanksgiving together. Another 40 or so were celebrating in Gulf Shores, AL.  Diane sent the picture below to all of us.

The meal at Joan's was amazing, in all my 64 years it really was the best Thanksgiving meal we have ever had. Maybe after all these years we are all becoming good cooks. Spark had the prayer so he got to go first.

 Quickly followed by hungry hoards. 

 The plates were filled to over flowing and still there was more.

 The tables were all set up downstairs.

 The desserts were also downstairs. There were so many different pies and goodies it was hard to choose. 

 Even Tumnus came in for some Thanksgiving treats. 

 After our meal the Bears were playing. Joan doesn't have a television so everyone that wanted to watch were watching on cell phones except those phones weren't in sync. Everyone sitting on the right side of the couch (Nolan's phone and Ash's phone were ahead by about 20 seconds. Nolan couldn't help but laugh when he knew a good play or a bad play was coming.

 There was a lot of laughter in the room.

Mom, Joan, Tara and I played Mexican Train while Nancy helped Joan. When Joan won the game we all said it was only because Nancy was helping her.  Molly and Gabe took Nancy home tonight. We certainly had a wonderful day and I am truly Thankful our family enjoys getting together.
