Thanksgiving Day





















It was so much fun having Bob and Lindsay over for Thanksgiving. We laughed, ate, laughed and then ate some more "Grin". Stephen, Jackson, Grayson, Zack and Evangalina came over later in the day to play pool. And yes...Bob and John partnered up and beat the young guys Stephen and Zack BIG TIME. Jason, Kimberly, Joshua, Justin, Kimberly and Emily came over in the evening and yes Jason and Justin then beat John and Joshua in pool. What a blessing each of them are. John and I thank each of them for making our day special!

John & Ginger... Thank you for such a wonderful Thanksgiving Day. It was so much fun and the food was soooooo good! Yes, John, I waited until 10:00 that night before eating that other piece of pumpkin pie. It was sooo good!
I'm reminded of that sweet song Tami wrote about the "Old Soldier" carrying on. I think Mom & Dad would be very proud of their four kids carrying on. They taught us all such strong values. While the holidays are still difficult to get through, we carry on because of the fond memories that will never be forgotten.
Love, Bob & Lindsay

Thanks everyone for the nice comments!!! And Bob...yes Mom and Dad would be very proud...they set high standards as parents, lived their lives by them and showered us with an unconditional love that never stopped. Happy Thanksgiving is not one day but every day we live. Thanks to all of you for being a part of of our lives.

I agree with you Bob and it is a very difficult time getting through the holidays but we do have such wonderful memories of Mom & Dad and we do carry on with many of the things through out the years that we celebrated with them. Miss them so much but we did have a wonderful Thanksgiving here in Oregon...
