Thanksgiving 2014

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. 2-P1350643

 

 

 

 

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.

Thanksgiving at the Farm

It’s that time again, to gather, eat and reconnect.  I hope you will join us for lunch on Friday after Thanksgiving at the farm.  As usual we’ll plan to eat at 1:00 p.m.  Bring something you like to eat. Somehow it always works out.

It would be helpful to know who will be arriving and when so we can plan the sleeping arrangements.

Here are the ones I know about already:
Malinda and I will be arriving on Monday or Tuesday.

John and Linda are always nearby as are Aunt Rebecca and Foster.

Ben will be there on Wednesday.

Gary, and JoAnn will be there all week.

Charles, Celena and Stan will be in Wednesday night.

Walter decided to come at the last minute, but could not get an airline reservation at this late date.

Susan and James will be in on Wednesday night late.

Mark and his family will be in about 11 a.m. on Friday.

I think David will be down on Friday with Uncle Murray.

Melinda and Charles will be in on Friday.  Charles said Chase and his new wife would be coming too.  Congratulations.  Send us some wedding pictures.

There are a number of you unaccounted for.  I hope you will find a way to come.  Let me know when you will arrive.

Thanks.
Andy
