Thankful

We had a sprinkling of snow today and I don't think my lettuce liked it much.

 I do think our grandson, Grayson, would have liked it.  He visited over Thanksgiving and he had a ball on the ranch.  He is old enough now to enjoy it. We look forward to future years when our other two grandsons, Zane and Graham, will be able to run around too.  Following are some of our Thanksgiving photographs to give you the gist of our weekend of fun.

Grayson helped pick the apples and peel them for pie.

 Johanna and Sarah out did themselves on pies.  Yummy

Before the gluttony began.

The  meal, with delicious wild turkey and quail.

Turkey Coma

Getting our Christmas tree.  Grayson wanted a 200 foot tree, but settled on this one.

Just right.

The guys took a day to go crabbing on Humboldt Bay in Eric's boat.

They got their limit.

Nightly card games.  Mark is wearing his poker face. 

Sarah and her son (our grandson)  Graham.

Grayson loved the quad and took ride after ride.

He liked sitting on the horse too.  Next time he will get to go for a ride.

Zane sitting on Macho the friendly donkey.

Hot tubbing

One of Grayson's favorite chores.

Feeding the cows was his favorite.

Mr. Johnson, the bull, eating from his hands.

Happy bubbles to you too .....
