Thanksgiving Is a Time to Give Thanks!

We entertained my parents, Doyle and Joyce Thompson and my sister and her family for the Thanksgiving week. Two of my cute nieces, Katelyn and Ashlyn Whitlock stayed the following week. We had a great time with them and really miss them as they went home yesterday.

On Thanksgiving Day, every guest had the opportunity to fill out an index card of one or more things that he or she was thankful for and place it in the gratitude box.
