Thanksgiving 2017

Once again we hosted family and friends for Thanksgiving. Jon was playing in Ireland with RPI and we had thoughts of going but didn't work out. 

We had another good size group this year.s. Most noticeable is the guys at the head of the table, my dad. He was home after 2 months plus in the hospital. Involved in a tree cutting accident that put him in the ICU and on the edge of death. Remarkable recovery and biggest story of Thanksgiving this year.

Apres Turkey.

Always good to visit and catch up. Every year is different who comes and cannot. Great to have all!

The lake froze over early this year and with the little bit of snow we had melting off than freezing again, great conditions for skating and fun post dinner activity.

We would have almost four weeks of lake skating this year.  Fun times!

Early September, my dad was cutting this birch, it fell, hit another tree and the top broke off and hit him. He laid for 2 hours until we found him. Amazing he survived the accident and even more amazing he was home after some scary moments in the hospital for four weeks.

Sunrise the day after Thanksgiving. Much to be thankful for!
