Truely a Time of Thanksgiving

Just before the Thanksgiving Holiday, we lost a dear friend and neighbor. Dennis Blackburn left for a bicycle ride in the early evening and never came home. Catherine and I were asked to help with the search. We found him about 5a.m. the following morning off in the brush with his bicycle. It makes us ponder and realize the blessing that are ours, and with that in mind I am posing that which give me the greatest joy......my family. We went out for our annual Turkey shoot and had a BLAST. Gun wise and entertainment wise. Don't have the pictures to post. Maybe because the trophy was passed from Jacob to Peter. Once again I didn't win!! Playing in the good weather with the family!! Family is growing......dog wise.

Not sure where these kids learn to have dogs in the family...haha.

Yeah what can I say! You taught us well when it comes to loving animals! Thanks for letting us come down and play! I'll be winning next year! You forgot to say that the practice round it got down to your youngest daughter and you dad!

Sorry I didn't learn that lesson on loving animals. Love them I guess, just don't want to love one of my own. I've got a good excuse now- Kayla.
Missed you all on Turkey day too. I was there in spirit- Jessica had my shirt on. So hard to come all that way for just a meal. We sure are thankful for ALL of our family. Wish we were closer so we could be closer.
