After months in Hawaii and Japan, SRC and JRQ return stateside as they prepare to move to Boulder, Colorado. They stop in beautiful California to visit Jake's mother then on to sunny Kansas for the Thanksgiving Holiday.
We gather family and friends to give thanks. While the Springfield Crows are not able to join us, the Gs and Eddie do
as does Oma.
Mark and Daya drive from Minnesota
and our good friend Carolyn treats us to a harmonica blessing while Lei, a Washburn University exchange student from China, experiences his first American Thanksgiving.
No surprise, we gather for a group photo:
While the quality of the Thanksgiving Dinner was only mediocre, the love, joy and friendship was truly outstanding.
After dinner, we explore and admire the recently constructed Stickwork Art at Washburn University.
On Friday, while Nancy and Heidi visit,
That evening, we host an enthusiastic marathon game of Trivial Pursuit. The men win ... of course.
Saturday morning we install the Christmas decorations on our Potwin Circle after which Daya and Lei re-decorate our Christmas wreaths.
Sunday morning saw people leave. Lei went back to the dorm at Washburn University, Daya and Mark headed to Minnesota
and SRC and JRQ packed the car (really full) and drove to the Promised Land.
Happy Thanksgiving 2009.

That's a lovely constructed wrapup of Thankgiving, ending with an uplifting message AND picture. Thanks for all the fun and camraderie. The cuisine was tops, too.
