Sunset - 1 December 2008

As is usually the case in trying to get a picture of a bright sunset, by the time I got my camera, it had faded some, but it is still quite gorgeous, I think. I will take this time to say that we had about 30 guests for Thanksgiving. As you might expect with that many diners, many people ate with their plates in their laps. Clarine invited all of her family for four generations. There were many that were able to make it. Some held their own Thanksgivings or went to their spouses side of the family. I think Clarine was very happy the way it turned out. The next day Phil, Lisa and family brought Beth out and we grazed on leftovers. On Saturday and Sunday and today we have been eating the same thing as well. It does taste good still. Beth stayed the night and we drove her back to Lisa and Phil's Saturday morning before we went to the temple. They delivered her back to BYU as they went to Utah County to visit Lisa's folks.

The weather has been mild the last week or so. We had some rain on two days, but it didn't turn cold afterwords. We have turned on some Christmas lights. I went to Walmart and bought three more timers today. Some of our existing timers have become fully depreciated. Tonight the lights on two timers are glowing. There are two more timers to set - and a third one if we so desire. I have been reading your communications with interest - e-mail, blogs, and I had a nice phone call from Diane on Thanksgiving. We have geese and ducks on the lake - no ice yet. It hasn't been cold enough, but it does put frost on the lawn in the mornings. gwh
