Thanksgiving

The Table
Every day when we eat our dinner,
Our table is very small
There's room for father, mother,
sister, brother, and me--that's all
But when it's Thanksgiving Day and the company comes
You'd scarcely believe your eyes,
For that very same table stretches
until it is just this size.

Jeremy spent hours shining this silver for me to use.
Many of these peices belonged to Jeremy's Grandma.

The Guests


This year for Thanksgiving dinner, we invited some good friends and the missionaries to join us. We had a total of 17 people. It is so nice to have a dining room that can fit everyone. It was a really nice day. I'm so glad we had others to share it with.

My wonderful husband who made it all possible, I really put this poor guy to work.
