Happy Thanksgiving!!

SO much to be thankful for!!                                                                                      (Thanksgiving dinner at Creekside Estates)

Such as...


Grandson, Zach, and 2 co-workers were not killed a week ago Sunday night as a hit and run driver sideswiped their car instead of hitting head on.
Thanks to the quick response of the driver to swerve right. He was hospitalized for 5 days. Zach has torn rotator cuff and the other fellow a concussion. 

Last Monday was the day to write out Thanksgiving cards...while a little "woolly bear" came to visit...






Sunday we celebrated 2 B-days and our Vancouver dumpling Thanksgiving dinner!!

 First came the 5 loaves of bread to set out to dry on Friday....after an afternoon of shopping at Freddy's. 
 Sunday afternoon cook's assistant Angie came to help break up the bread...to mix with grated potatoes to... 



make 38 dumplings
and sour gravy

Ye trusty turkey dumpling cooker.. 











 Makes Gram G happy and thankful to have a table full of family!!




And to welcome the newest sour gravy enthusiast!!
