Out and about on the 'Wing. Old US 91 NB. Mojave Desert. Utah starts where highway changes color. 60-mile round trip between Ivins and Mesquite. Mwah (sic) taking a late AM hour and a half away from the house before the Thanksgiving dinner heavy lifting began.

Happy Thanksgiving! Front from left: Kessler, Portland, Roy, TIMDT (the Matriarch), Grrrr. Rear from left: Ravenden, Teach (our niece from Arkansas), Mynduveroan, FeeBee, Z, and B1b.

TIMDT orchestrated a fabulous, traditional Thanksgiving dinner. Turkey, Arkansas family origin cornbread dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet potatoes, green beans, rolls, cranberry sauce and more pies (including some from Veyo Pies) than can be counted. Everyone contributed... from Mwah (sic) moving chairs, to Kessler obtaining extra ice, to B1b making the cranberry sauce from scratch (accessorized by apples and not oranges). B1b's aunt, Trish, an Ivins resident, also joined. She captured the above family image.

Family is at the center of our universe. There is no success in life that outshines success in the home where, chez nous, TIMDT has been our quarterback. Once again, today, TIMDT put big family points on the board.
