We are celebrating Thanksgiving, Sunday, with our family. Our oldest granddaughter (age 19) left a note for us, at Facebook, Tuesday night.  We are tickled pink, she is bringing a guest.  This is the first fella Miss Priss has invited to G’ma and G’pa’s house.

That is one of the prettiest Nativity scenes I've ever seen.

I had to LOL about your granddaughter finally bringing a guy around. My daughter is almost 16 and there's been no mention of a boy yet, but I know it can't go on forever.

Enjoy your Thanksgiving with your family, dear lady!

Good Morning Pat,

I hope the sun in shining there as much as it is here at home. What a wonderful sunrise. It would have been nice to see it at The Lake.

The nativity has such beautiful detail. With all the hurry and scurry of getting ready for Christmas, we need to remember the Real Reason. Thanks for the lovely reminder

Have a safe trip home.
