Thanksgiving in Ashland



Dan & Sheila joined Esther & I at Lori & Bob's place to celebrate Thanksgiving. Jana & Paul were hosting Paul's family in Eugene. Adam & Amanda were busy with friends and schoolwork so the week-end was more quiet than usual. In Corsicana, Texas, Roly's had their family join them at the home place. Of course they usually have warm weather in Texas and probably went boating. For them, all three of their kids are gone from the nest. Tyler, now at Colorado University, flew home while Ashley & Zack had a short drive from Austin. Holly's live a few miles away making Thanksgiving a complete family affair.

Meanwhile, back in Ashland, it took several hours for Bob & Adam to drive the group up the mountain into tree cutting areas. With a $5 permit, you can cut your own tree. They managed to find 4 suitable trees, 1 for Grandma, 1 for Lori's and Dan packed two on his car, one for them and the other for Jana's they would drop off on their way home in Eugene. The trees are now up and most decorated. We all enjoy the Christmas Season, the Christmas Tree lights and memories we are all reminded of. We were all thankful for family this Thanksgiving!
