Thanksgiving Day

Thursday, November 25

 

 

There was just enough sleet in the morning to remain on the ground until afternoon temperatures melted it.

Following an inspiring Thanksgiving Day service at our church – filled with testimonies and praise from our congregation – we went to Jere and Kristen’s for lunch.

Oh, my! This was an incredibly delicious meal. In addition to the food closeups, there was stuffing, gravy, baked corn, cranberry sauce, and pie.

After the meal, Jana played a few selections.

 

 

I tried to talk a few people into doing The Hokey-Pokey, but didn’t get any takers.
