Thanksgiving Day

I can't wait for Thanksgiving dinner.
I think I will have applesauce and Cheerios.





























































Where's Grandpa?






























Everyone did their part to put the meal together.
Daddy cooked. Grandma did the dishes.
Mommy decorated the pies.
Grandpa ran errands, kept the wood fire going and took lots of pictures.
Paul and Valerie fixed the squash.
Arnold made creamed cabbage.
Aunt Rhonda made peanut butter fudge and all kinds of luscious desserts.
We even had cranberry sauce made from the cranberries Grandma and Grandpa harvested from the back field.
William played.
Everyone was thankful.

Wake Up Daddy!

I want to play.

Our First Cranberry Harvest

A few years ago we discovered wild cranberries in our back field. This is the first year we have harvested them. They should make wonderful cranberry sauce and relish for our Thanksgiving dinner.

The Return of the Moose

On returning from our Sunday afternoon hike in the woods behind our house, we we met up with our moose. He was grazing in the back field.
