Happy Thanksgiving!

(Ft Lauderdale, FL) Hi 79 Lo 68 (Yes, that's LOW 68... we LOVE Florida!) -- Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! We're so thankful for so many things, and it's been a great year of wonderful blessings. We're so thankful to be able to live our lifestyle, and for so many friends - both old and new - that we've met this year. We're thankful for a loving and supportive family. And we're thankful for our good health. We're hoping each of you has a great day.

Jim grew up in nearby Margate, and we were invited to Thanksgiving dinner with some of his friends from his growing up years. We visited with Karel and Jim last winter while we were staying in Wauchula, FL, so it was good to see them again. Here are a few photos, mainly for our family members' enjoyment.

We had a great visit. After the scrumptious dinner the guys retreated to the big screen to watch the home team Dolphins play the Dallas Cowboys while the gals cleaned up the kitchen and distributed the leftovers.   Thanks Karel for a great meal and for including us in your family gathering.

We returned to our home to watch some TV. And to loosen our belts in private. :)
