This was our first Thanksgiving in our new home. We closed on the deal 3 days before Thanksgiving in 2007 and hadn’t moved in yet when Thanksgiving arrived. Thus, it was a very special day for us.

In addition to its being our first Thanksgiving, we were able to include a few things actually produced here on our little farm. We had home-grown pumpkins, sweet potatoes and eggs. Admittedly, not much but we’ll do better next year.

And so we gave thanks for our first, very good year!
