Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a child laden but still relatively civilized Thanksgiving dinner. In attendance were my friend Anne Holtzworth (our brave hostess), her children Liam and Ella, Terry's sister Jackie Martin, Jackie's husband Allan Giesen, and their daughter Penelope. Plus the four of us of course. Luckily the children didn't outnumber the adults but it was a bit too close for comfort!

In honor of Fred Sr.

A belated Happy Birthday! I thought about you yesterday as I was washing post-Thanksgiving dishes at my friend Anne's house. I was remembering the many Thanksgivings spent eating, washing dishes, and throwing the football in the street (playing in the street had the special allure!) at Omi and Opa's. Love from all of us!

It's a blog!

Wow, our first blog entry! Now I feel like a citizen of the 21st century.
