It was another great day after Thanksgiving  at the Farm.

It had been ten years since Jordan joined us so he had the honor of carving the turkeys JoAnn baked.  James is looking on after peeling all the sweet potatoes for the casserole.

 

 

There was lots of help in the kitchen. Malinda baked the ham.  Celena made her pudding dessert and Susan baked all those sweet potatoes James peeled.

 

Soon folks were filling their plates with ham, smoked turkey, dressing, sweet potato casserole, green beans, squash casserole, apple coleslaw, ambrosia, and lots of desserts including Mark’s famous oatmeal cookies.

 

 

 

We filled three tables in the dining room.

 

We set places for 12 in the living room.

 

 

 

 

The food was great, but the conversation was better.  It started around the tables and continued to the living room, porch and even out to the cars as folks left at the end of the day.

It was a good to get the know the newlyweds, Chase and Callie, who were married on October 11.  Chase is working for a 4H camp and Callie is teaching special education.

 

 

 

Look for posting about a Farm Work Day early in May.  Some of us plan to gather again on July 4th for a cookout.  Hope to see you all next year for our gathering Friday after Thanksgiving.
