Thanksgiving Day ~ 2004

This is one of several group photos taken

Hail, Hail, the gang’s (nearly) all here

It was a glorious occasion that everyone, without exception, enjoyed immensely. Julia, Fred and their children Tyler and Monika were the best of all possible hosts. They intuitively sensed and graciously responded to everyone’s needs, verbalized or not.

Of course, as everyone knows, our extended family is very large and geographically widespread. It is simply not possible for all of us to be in the same place at the same time. But wherever each of us was on that Day of Days, there is no doubt that good cheer was experienced and heartfelt gratitude to God and each other was expressed.
