Thanksgiving

A very pleasant day for Thanksgiving.

Downtown

Spent the noon meal at the City Building with Family in Marion, Kansas.  The food was wonderful.  We meet in the basement where there is plenty of room to visit and sit.  Completely furnished kitchen.

The Historic Building that we have our Family Dinners in every year was undergoing a remodeling project that broke my heart.  The Auditorium that my own children preformed in back in the 90s has been demolished.  The City is turning it into a Community room.  Growl.

My older brother asked me why this bothered me and I said because I like History.  Marion is trying to be an upscale little town.  Sad thing is so much of what gave the town some class is being mauled over.  Sometimes I wish somethings would just be left alone for others to enjoy.

Court House

I ate turkey, dressing, a dinner roll, corn pudding, sweet potatoes with pecans on top, deviled eggs, and pecan pie with coffee!!!  I'm proud of myself...I took tiny portions.  No dishes to wash!  Wonderful.

Cousin Ginger and Aunt Eldena weren't there.  Thanksgiving in Heaven this year.

Aunt Eldena

Cousin Doreen and her husband were almost in a serious auto accident on their way to today's gathering.  I am thankful there was no accident.  Somebody ran a stop sign.  Doreen's husband drove into the ditch to avoid an accident.

It was a blessing to visit with everyone.  Enjoyed the fellowship and food.

Officially Thanksgiving is over for the year and the decorating items will go into storage boxes on Friday.  Christmas decor will begin to show up little by little.

I hope your day went well.
