     Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving feast, sure was a great day and our Pastor said that he cooked his turkey on the grill. We ate with our daughter Veronica and hubby Andre deSaintPhalle in Johnson and we ate out on the deck, it was so warm, reminded us of the year Veronica was born. The weather had been balmy and nice that year she was born 2 days before Thanksgiving and I came home with her on Thanksgiving day and arrived home before the crowd came, we surprised our guests, my mother-in-law had prepared dinner for us all.

     Joy Bosley enjoyed the visits from her children Jon and Family from Waterville and Jolene and Family from Cape Cod area during the Thanksgiving holiday. Joy, brother David and his son Matthew Tryhorne enjoyed their Thanksgiving Dinner with Mom/grandmother Pearl Tryhorne at Holiday House, Jolene and family also visited while here.

     The United Methodist Church decorated the Church during the morning worship time 11/29, with the program entitled "Hanging Of The Greens" the Sunday School children took part and they all did very well, our Thanks to Joel for stepping up to help, this was his first year to help and with no rehearsals we all managed and our appreciation and thanks to all.  Next Sunday is our annual Charge Conference and we hope for a good turn-out and there will be pot-luck to finish the service. Please bring your favorite homemade dish or dessert.
