thanksgiving, 2017

 Turkey Trot participants:

This is my sister with her grandson.  He's turning into a real guy at this point, little baby no more.

Nobody knows when Morgan was born, so her birthday is declared to be Thanksgiving.  She likes it.

This puppy was confused by why her kennel was moved (to make room for Thanksgiving tables) and a lot of other furniture. She slept with us part of the night. That was fun for us.

 It was a very lovely Thanksgiving, made possible by all the patient and gracious people who showed up, smiled, participated, and were kind to each other.

The food was delicious and the company easy-going.

That's a lot to be grateful for right there.

Plus there's this guy:

 At the end of the evening, we had this:

 Happy Thanksgiving, with so much gratitude and so much love, MOM, aka Grandma, aka VAL
