In reply to denise horrocks. Denise - you hobbit you! Taters indeed. So glad to hear Granpa is ok. What a scare. Amazing he drove himself too. What a blessing.

We had a wonderful dinner in snowy Eastern PA, cooked by my BIL (which did not include Mashed potatoes…. I’m a hobbit at heart ! Need my taters!) but grateful for a super dinner anyway and all family gathered. Granpa went to the hospital later in the evening with a heart attack, gulp. He came home today (Tues.) He drove. Thankful.

Can’t blame Hudson…your ornaments look good enough to eat! Glad everyone’s on the mend. Good to have some of you in church Sunday.

Wow! I really think that BATWMN plate belongs to you. You certainly earned it. We did lose power before we headed up to New Hampton for dinner with my sisters and their husbands. Mom was in good health and good spirits, so she was able to come with us. She was so funny, and she ate everything in sight. So glad her health has improved. Once back in Manchester, we took Mom back to the nursing home and headed to Bedford to share some time with Jack’s daughter and family. We sat around chatting, sipping wine, and closing out the day watching The Polar Express. I am so glad that things are somewhat back to normal at the Taylor home.

Wow! What a week! So glad you’re all on the mend! My power went out as we started dinner Wed. pm (glad it was already cooked!) and came back Friday mid morning. I took Amanda with me to Steve’s house Thanksgiving late morning and was glad to get to a warm place! Stayed until power returned. So, not too bad.

This will be one Thanksgiving you’ll always remember!

So glad that you finally recovered, got power back, and that the patient is making a good if slow recovery! We had an incredible Thanksgiving celebrating with a branch of the family for the first time in 13 years, and that was a surprise carefully planned for me by a granddaughter-had expected 19-not 31! But the surprise was carried off perfectly and included the New England branches of the family who had to travel through snow, changing travel plans due to weather reports! Happily, our snow did not amount to much but it was so pretty to watch! I returned from choir practice to discover my sister and brother-in-law sitting I my kitchen! Unbelievable! They had opted to come down early due to the snow! So we had a lovely Thanksgiving Eve service, Thanksgiving here the next day for 31, then had breakfast here for 26 Fri am. Many went off to visit Gettysburg, a few of us visited Hershey World to learn how they make chocolate, then all returned here for supper for the same 26 ! Then 24 of us breakfasted here on Sat. Am before they began to wend their separate ways home to RI and New Hampshire, North Carolina, and the USNA!!! We missed you and your family but am thankful that we are already planning for a repeat performance with all on 2016 . Good memories for the children as well as their parents! PTL.

Wow! Glad y’all survived and are well! I love the quote about gratitude. We spent Thanksgiving at our house with some of my family! Awesome time of catching up and fellowship! The food was yummy too!
