Happy Thanksgiving from Tennessee

Donna and I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. We are getting our foods ready to take to her brother's house for "The Meal". She is making her signature hash brown casserole and I am making guacamole deviled eggs and traditional deviled eggs. I've decided to be the minimalist chef by not doing anything major this year since I usually do something extravagant. I figure guacamole deviled eggs are gourmet enough to not be difficult and still make a showing.

Thankful

I think things are going to be pretty busy this week so I just want a minute to say how thankful I am to have all of you. Family is the place you come from and what forms who you become. I love our likeness and our diversity, the people we have become. I miss you and will be thinking of you this Thanksgiving. Have a happy!

news from jasper

This week as I was in route to help friends with some paper work a fire truck passed me. I being me meandered along wondering where it might have gone. I turned on the appropriate road, topped the hill and saw a huge cloud of smoke coming from my friends house. I zoomed up the drive and ran to help clear a fire break . The fire was burning about 2 acres of woods between 2 houses and the wind was blowing like crazy. The wind died and the pump truck finally arrived followed by a bulldozer. The houses were fine but the fire got within 20 feet of one and had to be evacuated. Rex was just one week past a chainsaw mishap and tore some stitches but is ok. It was scary how fast the fire moved and we were all very thankful no one lost their home.
Gillian and Kayla's families moved into apartments in Jasper this week. Log homes are very bad for asthma kids.
Bill is home til Dec.1. Hurray!

This guy ...

In Obama's speech on Tuesday night, he thanked "the young people who rejected the myth of their generation's apathy; who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep." Here's one of them, assigned to a group of mostly middle-aged suburbanites in a heavily Republican area. He's a remarkable guy, with profound patience and an uncanny ability to get people working.
