Within the confines of this little cyber-world, you will encounter mind boggling facts (doubtful), side splitting humor (more doubtful), artifacts of great historical significance (we have a lot of old family photos to bore you with), and maybe you will even come across some genuine German/Canadian stuff

(Got your curiosity up, eh?!?)


Of the nine in this family, I am the Canadian. I am out numbered 9 to 1 by Americans. The odds are still in my favor. I am after all, "The Father." Join me on our wonderful journey.

Thanksgiving Day

Well, since it's almost a month since Thanksgiving, I think it's finally time to post our pretty little Thanksgiving pictures.

We were going to just back date them to Thanksgiving Day and post them for our own benefit. (After all, a "Blog" is really a web log for our family). Well, then the Stricklens posted THEIR Thanksgiving pictures, so we didn't want to be chicken and post ours in a deceitful back-dated fashion, as if we had been on top of things all along, so here we are...a week from Christmas...posting pictures from our lovely Thanksgiving Day, which by the way was held on Thanksgiving Day lest you be confused.

Mama


Bounty!
The Baked


The Bakers


Fellowship

Some talked by the fire



Some sang traditional Thanksgiving Hymns


Some served by playing instruments




Some laughed

(some slept - like the little sickie, Emma Jane)


And then we ate...and ate!
Grandaddy shared with us the story of the first Thanksgiving....of the hardships...and God's Providence


Grace read the poem Five Kernels of Corn
We reflected on the difficult first year that the pilgrims endured

We are truly Thankful

Boy, some people are so dis-organized and behind...maybe y'all could learn a few hints from our family on how to post in a more timely fashion. (HAHA)

The tables were absolutely beautiful, and the food on the tables looked just as good.

Sounds like y'all had a wonderful day, wish we could have been there!

Love,
Katie
