Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving.\u00a0 Ours was very nice.\u00a0 It started out early with a 5K walk put on for a senior project by one of the high school students in our town.\u00a0 It was a cold, but beautiful morning.\u00a0 The\u00a0runners and walkers met\u00a0in one of the parks we have here.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9844\"<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 The park has a covered bridge.\u00a0 The original bridge that was here was set on fire several years ago by vandals\u00a0and the city\u00a0had to find one to replace it.\u00a0 I like the new bridge even better.\u00a0 It looked so pretty in its Fall setting.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9847\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The river was running swiftly that morning.\u00a0 This river floods the park about every year or so.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9846\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I went here to get my number and my shirt.\u00a0 Registration included bringing at least five cans of food for Love Chapel, an organization that helps needy people. They gathered over four thousand cans of food that day.\u00a0 How great is that?<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9849\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I am beginning to get a collection of 5K shirts.\u00a0 I hope I can walk in a few more next year.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9854\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our son arrived from Cincinnati with a friend and her son.\u00a0 My son was not a happy camper about the run.\u00a0 But because he’s the one who talked me into doing it, he was compelled to run it.\u00a0 Yes, he would run\u00a0it.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I would walk it.\u00a0 I don’t run if I don’t have to.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9863\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There were around four hundred people participating in all ages and sizes and clothing choices.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9871\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Shawna and her son walked with me.\u00a0 We were bundled up against the cold.\u00a0 I think I had about four layers on, but my legs still got cold.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9861\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Some people really got into the theme of the race by dressing the part.\u00a0 This man looked like he was riding a turkey.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9857\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There were several different turkey hats.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9855\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Even cooked turkey hats!<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9870\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here we are completing the walk.\u00a0 I think we were the last ones as everyone else was running.\u00a0\u00a0 See that boy behind us?\u00a0 He probably walked four miles as he meandered all over while we walked the trail.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9873\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then we went home. Dogs were played with.\u00a0 We ate a huge meal.\u00a0 I have not been hungry all day today.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9883\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We played Dizzios.\u00a0 I lost as usual.\u00a0 I keep telling my one grandson that one day I will beat him.\u00a0 He is really good at this game.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9880\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I love these two.\u00a0 They made David and me turkey pictures.\u00a0 They are so cute.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN9889\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"DSCN9887\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When I looked around our table, I knew exactly what I was thankful for.\u00a0 Family and friends.\u00a0 What would the world be like without them?\u00a0\u00a0 And love.\u00a0 That’s what it’s all about.\u00a0 Bye.<\/p>\n
