It’s that time again to gather at the Farm on Friday after Thanksgiving. We will plan to eat at 1:00 p.m. as usual. Please bring a dish and your appetite. I’m bringing spiral cut ham and green beans and Joann and Aunt Rebecca are bringing turkey and dressing with gravy.
We will have our regular family farm meeting after lunch and a group photo as usual. It promises to be another great time to catch-up and welcome new family members: Kemper’s Dave and Chris’ Lisa and Aliyah. Sue reminded me that there were two other additions to our family on October 20th. Margie had twins, Jonathan and Ethan who will be coming home from the hospital this week. Sue will be caring for babies in Greenville and won’t be able to make it this year. Susan, Gabe and James are in Japan but sent their best wishes for a great time. Craig & Desiree are unable to come because they are caring for Aunt Dorothea who will be released from the hospital on Monday.
