Good evening, radu...I finally got the thread posted. Both computers decided to reboot on their own and I lost both threads. GRRR! What a way to start.

Hope you didn’t have to go out at all today...it’s a zoo outside.

Good evening, Allegra, and Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

Happy Thanksgiving, Allegra!

Yes, you did spend a few Thanksgivings in the Sandbox. We remember it well. Thinking back on when that was, it’s hard to believe how many years have passed. Where did the time go? LOL

[Allegra]

Awwww…dear, sweet tongue-tied (Chris.) I miss him. Thank you for posting that pic. We sure had a lot of fun.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

Great timing for your computers to decide to reboot. I thought they said computers were supposed to make life easier. They lied!

I went nowhere today but did spend some time outside. I finally felt up to washing my filthy car and it was a perfect day for it. Sunny and 66 degrees. Now I won’t be embarrassed to drive the car. LOL

You didn’t have a very pretty day up there for your travels to your appointments. It started out really ugly but finally cleared off this afternoon. Sunset was absolutely glorious.

Var Jag Går i Skogar, Berg och Dalar (when I walk in forests, mountains and valleys)--Ingeborg Nyberg (1956)

Where I walk in forests, mountains and valleys,
A friend follows me, I hear his voice.
He is invisible, but speaks to me,
Speaking, occasionally warning, sometimes comforting.
He, my Shepherd, died for me,
But he lives for all eternity.
He follows and cherishes his sheep,

[Allegra]

Thinking back on when that was, it’s hard to believe how many years have passed. Where did the time go? LOL

I hear ya! Sometimes it seems like it was just a couple of weeks ago and other times, it feels like it was another life.

I hope you have nice Thanksgiving plans and that it’s not crazy or hectic. :)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, lightman, and happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

Thanksgiving 2005 -
Camp Korean Village, Anbar Province, Iraq. Happiest guy on the outpost, I got to meet up with and have Thanksgiving Dinner with my son.

The Marines there put on a righteous feast for us Army guys passing through on missions.

I was the only guy there that got to have Thanksgiving with family. In the background back then, always supportive, sending music/dvds and encouragement, Kathy in Alaska!

Thank you, we never will forget
