Thanksgiving Day – Part 1

 

The day started with an encouraging Thanksgiving service at church. Our hearts were blessed to hear children, young people, parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents share about God’s blessings in their lives.

Then half of our family went to Jere and Kristen’s for lunch. The rest were either in Maine or had other family meal plans.

 

 

When we arrived Kristen was basting the turkey.

 

 

She and Jere make a turkey with spices and a marinate that is hard to match for taste.

Someone was pouring sparkling grape juice.

 

 

 

 

Now you know who that someone was!

 

 

Pretty decorations

Look behind you Deb and Jana! Now we know who stole half of one of the cookies.

I tried again and they switched their focus.

Thanks for the delicious meal, Jere and Kristen. I missed getting a photo of you two. I guess you were too busy.

Jere and Kristen are legal guardians for an elderly man and his son, and both men have been in and out of the hospital in recent weeks. Right now Greg (the sixty-something-year-old-son) is in the hospital following a fall yesterday, so we brought Ian, Jared, and Jesse home with us for the night so Jere and Kristen can spend the afternoon and evening in the hospital.

Josh and Jana went home with Roy and Deb to go Black Friday shopping tomorrow morning at 2:00 a.m.  I would rather be sleeping at that time!
