Thanksgiving at the Greenman's

We hope that you had a marvelous Thanksgiving holiday.  This is Jack's absolute favorite holiday of the year, so we did it up!  When I invited my brother for Thanksgiving, I had no idea that it meant he would cook an entire holiday meal - virtually by himself.  But that is exactly what he did.  It was spectacular!  We also had Grammie Betsy from Seattle and the Hinton Family.  Charlie slept through most of the festivities and awoke at the end of the evening for the serving of pie.  My kind of boy!  Again, hope you all had a beautiful holiday.  We have so much to be thankful for this year.

Here is the grace Jack shared with us before dinner:


Giver of all good gifts, you have spread out the world before us like a feast table that is set by motherly love.  Open our hearts to feast at your table, to show our gratitude by remembering those who have so much less than we have, by letting some of our own wealth overflow to them, by making those who are lonely while we have friends and company less lonely.  And make the whole world one big joyful table fellowship.  Eating together, singing together, dancing together.
