HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I HAVE SO MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR.  MY FAITH AND SALVATION, MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND ALL THE MANY BLESSINGS GOD HAS GIVEN US.  THANK YOU JESUS!  We had a great breakfast at the Shack.  Scrambled eggs, ham, sausage, toast, peaches, orange juice and coffee.   We didn't eat a lot as we are having a huge Thanksgiving meal at 12:15.  Will sure have to walk when I get home.  Chuck and Sue loaded their car as they had to check out at 10 a.m.  They just hung out with us after that.  We played cards and I went to our car and got our purple cards this time.  Sue and I did great with them the last time we played.  We played Euchre again and the guys won the first one and Sue and I won the next three.  We were pretty happy.  We had a delicious Thanksgiving meal.  Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, corn, green beans, rolls, and a wonderful salad bar.  We were really full afterwards, so we went for a walk on the trail around the grounds. Chuck and Sue left after that.  In the evening, we went down for banana splits again.  We had over 130 going through the line for banana splits tonight.  Marv and Jeannette did all the scooping and cutting bananas for all of those people and she commented to me what a blessing it was.  Love this couple.  At quarter to 10 it was our turn to get our banana splits.  The line was way back to where the Amish lady is in the picture and stayed that long for a long time while people kept coming.  We met a guy named Larry Otto whose dad was related to Jared's family that the book, Jacob's Choice was written about.  He knew all about the people in the book too.  He was very interesting to talk to and he had a great testimony about God's miracle hand upon him and His provision for him and his family.  He reminded me of Jared.  He was really friendly and he had many of the same features.  He sure knew a lot of jokes and kept coming up to the counter where we were and telling us them.
