The whole week was about Thanksgiving. We had 10 for dinner. Ed & Lynne – Pat, Jul, Bryon, and Liz – Ryn and dog – Mom. Danita and I enjoyed hosting Thanksgiving immensely.

Jul & family arrived with a beautiful poinsettia.

Mom joined us. She was proud of having completed a wickedly difficult jig saw puzzle. The sides and top did not have any straight pieces.

Ryn got a last minute cancellation from her dog sitter, so the dog joined us. Ryn named it “Tin tin”, so she has “Ryn tin tin’. Tin is very protective of family and loves scratching her back on the rug. But she can’t understand why she isn’t allowed to go off leash to chase deer when visiting us.

Danita did her amazing food preparation. Of course we had way more food than we needed. And of course it was really good. If you visit the web site, you will see just how amazing it was, as well as a few other pics.

Friday we visited the Ellicott City train garden in the morning, then drove to the National Cryptographic Museum in the afternoon.

Everybody disbursed to their homesteads by early Saturday morning. We have the house almost back to normal .Danita and I had a wonderful time. I hope all had a great Thanksgiving.
