Thanksgiving Day at
the Masseys
Thanksgiving Day with the Masseys was like old home week.
They haven’t sold their house yet, so we all gathered at the “resort” where we
stayed with them when we were in between houses and “homeless.”
The meal was outstanding, and Sara-Alison had done most of
the preparation, because her mom had the flu earlier in the week. Sara-Alison
did a fantastic job, so when her contributions were added to her dad’s deep
fried turkeys, the whole Thanksgiving meal was a huge hit!
Jennifer and Fred had invited their son and daughter-in-law
(baby due in a month!), Sara-Alison’s boyfriend and his dog Maggie, another
lonely couple from our church, Fred’s sister, and us. It was a delightful group
of people. Thanks for including us in your ‘family” Thanksgiving, J& F!
Thanksgiving Friday
Lunch with More Family and Friends
Today we had another Thanksgiving meal with all of our
family that could come AND Brandi’s family, which we claim as our own family anyway. We really missed the ones who were not
available to join us. It would be so much fun for all of us to get together.
Hopefully, we can do that another time. This was nice, though.
Everybody brought a dish or two, and we ended up with lots
of food for 20 for our second Thanksgiving Lunch! Kyle and Victoria’s folding
table saved the day to provide enough table spaces for everyone. Thankfully, it
was also a lovely day outside, and we spent some quality time outside, too. We
really enjoyed sharing this wonderful potluck meal with everyone in our new
town home.
Thanks, all of you, for joining us!
