Blessed Thanksgiving Day 2010

What a fantastic Thanksgiving we had in 2010. Family and friends are so wonderful to share time, talk, and great food together.This year we had cousins Leonard and Nancy from Fresno, Kate, Jesse, and baby Ainsley Reed our friends from our Bible Study group, and my Mom, Lois. What a nice group.
Lyle fixed the Turkey, Dressing, Mashed Potatoes, Gravy, Fruit & Cream salad, Pecan, and Apple pies and maybe more that I can't remember. Kate brought Green Bean Casserole, Pumpkin Pudding, and a Cheesy Potato dish. Nancy brought Sweet Potatoes with pecans, Homemade Cranberry Sauce, and Carrot Cake. Grandma Lois brought her famous Fruit Cake. Everything was Very Yummy!
Sorry, there are no food pictures! All pictures were taken after we were stuffed!
It is so fun to have a baby in the house! She was a perfect little dinner guest who just played and let the grownups enjoy their meal and conversations.



Relaxing after dinner! Jesse went out... poor guy was really tired. Must have been the 2 full plates of fantastic food! Ainsley was sleeping too!

What a nice day!
Note: Cory, Annie, and Bee had to stay home today because Bee was running a fever and has a terrible cough. Couldn't share it with her little pals.
Nate and Meg enjoyed Thanksgiving together at home because of Meg's work schedule. Nate had pizza and Meg had Honey Baked Ham.
Linda & Bob stayed home this year because Linda had knee replacement surgery last week.
It was a different Thanksgiving Day for us, but different is not always bad. It was a very Blessed day at our house!

Happy Thanksgiving to all and hoping everyone takes time to be thankful for all your blessings.

Morro Bay Trip with Nate and Grandma Lois

On Saturday Nate took Grandma Lois and me to Morro Bay. It was a beautiful day!



We went to the Nature Museaum. It was interesting and a great place to view the bay and rock.






Nate entertained us with a puppet show.

Later we went to lunch at the Mandarin Buffet. Then drove out to the rock before heading home.
Unfortunately, on the way home, Nate got a speeding ticket that made his mom feel really bad.
But the rest was beautiful. We really love and appreciated Nate's time and patience with the 2 old ladies with our walkers. He is a great kid! Love ya Nate!
