GIVING THANKS!

Thanksgiving seems like ages ago, with the flurry of activity we are experiencing in our lives right now.  However, it really was only 10 days ago.  This year our nephew Chris and his wife MaryBeth were very kind to open their home for a family gathering, a potluck dinner, at 4:00 in the afternoon.  The weather cooperated, as they had beautiful tables set up outdoors in their lovely backyard.  There were 30 people so we enjoyed being able to see loved ones and their loved ones too!  Here's a sampling of photos...
