Turkey Thanksgiving 2020 Has Arrived

It is delightfully easy to thank God for the grace we ourselves have received, but it requires great grace to thank God always for the grace given to others.  ~James Smith

The time to celebrate has arrived a but it will be a little different-as we lost Sue and Mitch this year.  2020 started out well and then turned quite badly with our losses and the pandemic.

We decided this year to be a small gathering and have it at home where we can control the environment.

Miss Mary, a very extra special friend, and Robin took over the running of the celebration and they did a magnificent job. Thank you, thank you, and thank you!
