Thanksgiving Dinner

Yesterday was another special time with family and friends. Our friend, Diana, was put to work helping in the production of gourmet food. The master chef, Judy, put most of us to work doing a variety of tasks.

We had a great array of food which included baked ham.

Notice the intensity of concentration on the faces of the ham carvers! It must be very stressful to cut this meat.

In addition to ham, Judy roasted turkey breast.

The menu also included baked stuffing, cooked apples, oriental salad, mashed potatoes, homney casserole, cranberry sauce, green beans, and several yummy desserts.

Oh, yes, we also had turkey gravy. Diana was the senior gravy stirrer!

Judy is so proud of her apron. It was her Dad's apron and he would wear it when he cooked. It brings back wonderful memories.

Sister Judy and Brother-in-law Bill brought Grandma Great Meads from Spencer. Bill and Judy are planning an Alaskan cruise during the summer of 2009. (Boy, that is not far away!)

After supper, Grandma Great Meads played the piano with Lucy.


It was such a nice evening we even relaxed on the back porch and walked with the kids around our vast ranch. (OK- about an acre!)

It was a great day! We hope you folks had an equally wonderful Thanksgiving.
