Thank you for Thanksgiving

Happy day after Thanksgiving:

I want to say thanx to the Haralsons for hosting a really nice afternoon, and to mom and dad from bringing the turkey and rolls. It was a wonderful and relaxing time.

I was concerned about David's report on his health, and we have him in our thoughts and prayers. It must be so frustrating to feel unwell and have measurable symptoms, yet not get the help needed.

Mom and Dad left the Haralson's shortly after we did in the evening to return to the temple. They were meeting Rebecca there who drove down to stay with them and go to the temple while her in-laws watched the kids. I'm grateful for their examples of doing the right thing all the time.

We missed James and Lauryn yesterday, but are enthused by their spirit and desires to do the right thing. James is taking care of himself and working to save and have money for school. He is very diligent in his efforts to get good grades and maximize his learning. It's hard to believe that he is halfway thru his second year of college.

It was very fun to see our first 'big' house of lights on the way back to Apple Valley last night. It was somewhere on Ave S as we headed down to 47th street and the 138. So many colors and designs.

It was nice to be with the rest of my family there, enjoying the day and each other. Those times become more precious to us as I spend more time away from home.

I hope you all are blessed with a nice remainder of the weekend!

Love, Lewis
