Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family too Debbie! I check this site every once in a while for any interesting news from the family but it just doesn't seem to be the news hub to keep everyone up-to-date about the family. My family is just as bad about posting news as everyone else so no room to talk there. I'm not sure what the solution is to get it more active! I don't hear a lot about the relatives though so I would love to see more postings and stay in touch.

We had a nice Thanksgiving with Bob's side of the family this year and nice weather. We were remembering yesterday that last year, it was shortly after Thanksgiving that our snow started and never left the ground until March. We're hoping we don't have a repeat of that experience! We are also now decorated for Christmas which will hopefully get me in the mood for shopping. I don't have a lot to do though which is nice but it also means that I am good about procrastinating!

This picture is from my birthday earlier this month. Bob and I and some friends went on a tour of several of the Iowa wineries in southwest Iowa. They were having a holiday tour and gave out small samples at each stop. It was a lovely day with great weather for November 1st!

Shane heads back to Iowa State tomorrow for 3 weeks and then first semester is already over. He is on schedule to be a 2 year senior so has another year and a half before he is finished.

I liked your float picture and remember those high school days of Shane so fondly. Sounds like you stay involved with all of the activities which helps to make it fun for the whole family.

Hopefully we will hear from more of our relatives soon !
