Our good friend Danny..getting ready to try Moose meat for the very first time..
Going for the first bite...
He agreed with everyone else who had tried it - it tasted like sausage & was
very good. I will take their word for it!
Here is Dad and Jim trying to get the turkey out of the
cooking pan. It was quite a turkey!
Gotta love the beer can in the background..!
Dad spent all day taking care of this turkey..he was very proud of it!

Dinner time!
This is what Thanksgiving is all about - one big happy family!

"The Keeper Of Them All!!" - Dad/Grampy
We may not have the big fancy houses, or the expensive cars. We may not have designer clothes, or name-brand sneakers on our children. But we certainly have each other and we couldn't ask for more than that.. for money only buys temporary happiness. Family is forever and that's something that you can't put a price on. In my eyes we are incredibly rich. Rich in love. Who could ask for more?
