Successful Pre-Thanksgiving

Our new holiday decoration.

During the painting of the dining room.

The finished product.

The left side of the yard the live oak tree will be planted here.

The right side of the yard - our maple tree will be planted here. There is plenty of room in the middle of the trees for a swing set too!

Miss Brooklyn is resting comfortably.

The table is set and ready for a special meal.

Here are the happy diners ready for their first taste of turkey.

Another picture of us ready to eat.

Last shot before the prayer.

Poor Brooklyn had to stay on the floor during the meal... but she slept through it anyway.

Susan, Taylor and Brooklyn relaxing after filling up on all the yummy food.

It was a great day - lots of food and people that I love sharing in a special meal before my surgery. I enjoyed spending time with each of them, and will treasure memories of the day while I'm recovering - and for the rest of my life.
