We had a nice visit with Todd and Ann Marie. I had a chef! Ann Marie brought the turkey and fixins’ and made the meal. I did manage a pumpkin pie. Now, today we will watch the Badger/Gopher “axe” rivalry… Lots of Badger fans in this family, but Bob seems to have taken to the Gophers.

Wonderful dinner – thanks to Ann Marie.

We are thankful for so many things. Each other and all the loved family members and friends. George is with us for a little while longer. We learned he has cancer, but he seems the same, just slowing down.
We are especially thankful for the good doctors in St. Louis treating brother Jon’s heart. Never forget how precious life is. Tell people you love them. I love all of you too, reading this post.

What a beautiful photo, of a happy family. Seeing the picture of Todd, is like seeing you and Dan combined, and certainly makes me think about years past. I agree with the “love” and feel so blessed, myself with all my family and friends. Love to you all, Sandy
Thank you Sandy – and isn’t it something to have these adults who are our children?? So much love.
I want to know how your Big Year with the birds came out. You had already surpassed my total about half way through your year.
Well, you have until Dec. 31 — so let me know how it comes out.
Thanks for your love and well wishes. I love you Too!
