Thanksgiving in Middleville

Son Jon and his lovely family Wednesday took possession of their new home in Middleville Michigan. We showed up on Thanksgiving with food and drink.  The occasion was chaotic, happy and food filled.  Their home is on the banks of the Thornapple River which is a tributary of the Grand River, the longest river in Michigan.  The dinner was provided by us visitors and am pleased to say that everything turned out delicious.

Their little boys, Paxton and Everett had a great time with their version of fishing In the river.  

The photo on the top was the trio tasting Uncle Mikes wine from this years batch.  A look at the wintry river and then the bros were next, both of which are about a head taller than me. 

There is a lot to be done on the home,

but Kelly's talents as a decorator/organizer and Jon's mechanical ability will have them up to the task.  But the best part for me was when the three siblings were outside making fun of each other with Judy and I looking on.  Kids that are happy with each other is my Thanksgiving gift.

And now, it's back to normal, with a much needed trip to Planet Fitness, ugh!

Also it's back to sensible eating with some sense judgement as to quantities and varieties of foods. 

all for now

hope you all enjoyed your holiday

stay safe
