Thanksgiving 2008 the Tailgating Way

So, I don't have pictures to post yet; but I couldn't wait to write this post. Today we were working harvest in the field ALL day. We are so close to finishing harvest and everyone is anxious to get it done. So, Sunday night we had what we thought would be our Thanksgiving Supper for this year. We had it amoung many friends and family and it was WONDERFUL. So today we went to the field anticipating just another "typical" harvest day. Well at noon Billy's wife shows up with Thanksgiving Dinner. She opens up the back of her vehicle and sets up a table full of salads and pies and rolls and her tailgate is full of all the traditional turkey, green bean casserole and of course mashed potatoes! It was so YUMMY!! The whole crew stopped and ate for a whole 10 minutes. Then about 5pm Chris and Stacy show up with yet ANOTHER Thanksgiving Supper. WOW!!! They drove from Cheyenne WY over 400 miles roundtrip just to bring us Thanksgiving Supper! They opened up their taigate and it was full also of all the traditional foods. They even set up a table with the cutest Thanksgiving Tablecloth and Pilgrim Decorations and Tegan even had her own homeade Scarecrow Decorations to add to the mix. It was all topped off with HOT coffee and Carmel Apple Creamer and of course no Thanksgiving Meal would be complete without Sparkling Apple Juice! WOW!!! So amoung the normal things that we are thankful for we also are thankful for special friends and family who come from far and near to show their kindness and thoughtfullness! We are so blessed!!!! Thanks Chris and Stac for driving so far just to show your love and kindess and thanks to Billy's wife for her kindess as well! Our family does not deserve this treatment and we definetly look at is as a blessing from God! Thanks to the Prosser's for opening up your home and allowing the food to be warmed up so that it was so yummy and warm when it reached the field! Thanks Chris and Stacy for sharing with the whole harvest crew! Our crew doesn't stop for anything during the day unless their is a breakdown and TWICE today the whole operation stopped for just a few moments as we gathered together and shared this thanksgiving day together! This is one thanksgiving that will forever be etched in our minds and memories! THANKS to each of your who shared in the day in some way or another! We are so thankful for each of you!! Happy Thanksgiving 2008 we will always remember this year and the unique tailgate party that we had together!

Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him; bless His name. -Psalms 100:4
