Thanksgiving
I have finally decided what makes Thanksgiving Day right and perfect.
In our pre-Guatemala days we got together with Vernon's family and the Wilmer Layman (Grandad) extended family. A few times we got together with another missionary family when we lived in Guatemala but for the most part we didn't do too much.
After we moved here we didn't really celebrate the day until about 5 years ago when Herb Lattin and Susan Lattin invited us up to spend the day with them. We have tried to go up every year since then except one.
Yesterday, we again were there....enjoying the day with the Lattin's, Cathy Carlson and Elv Graber's family. It was then that I decided that to really enjoy Thanksgiving Day you need family to spend it with you.
I am thankful for "family" away from family. Just wish that Adam and Susana could've have joined us!
