Remembering Thanksgiving

Jessica's Room

I finally got to clean Jessica's room to accommodate guests for Thanksgiving. I promised her I would take some pictures to show her how it looked before Jonathan slept there. Here it is, Jess:

Annie was groomed a week before Thanksgiving. She is still soft. That's her with her Petco bandana. I don't think she liked it that much. Smile, Annie!

Jonathan's home! Yes, I did cook omelet for him, and yes, he is eating it with root beer. Makes me think of my dad.

It was a triumph, my dear. Cooked with apple cider glaze and just out of the oven.

One of our guests was the daughter of friends in Florida. Now she's our friend:). She is a freshman at University of Richmond. Her name is Andrea.

The table set with care...oops I forgot and left Mom's silver chest in the picture. It's very fun to use her china and silver and even the little soup bowls. We had butternut squash and apple soup as our first course. Yummy--if I do say so myself!

Not a great picture of the meal itself, but you see some of our guests--Phil and Eileen and Joel's roommate, Tyler, on the right, with Andrea and Nathan's face peaking through on the left. Those not in this picture are Steve, Meg, Jonathan, David, Ellen, and Joel. Wow! If only I coud l have done better.

After the guests have gone. . .
Boo-hoo. The Beards caught an early flight back to Kansas on Saturday, and Jonathan and Andrea took flight (on bus and train) on Sunday. Steve is back again in one of his favorite working spots in relative quiet.
