Thanksgiving Change of Plans 2016

What are we thankful for at the Gleason home?  So many things, we have everything we need and more.  We have the best family and friends.  Most of all we have a God that is right with us every step of the way.  Our first stop on Thanksgiving was Leola's home (Mike' mom).  
We came right when Leola's Thanksgiving dinner was ending.  She lives in a fabulous place and is well taken care of.
 We visited for about an hour and off we went.
 First we thought that we might be serving for Blessings Under the Bridge on Thanksgiving.  We discovered that they served on Wednesday.  Off to the store on Wednesday to get a turkey and the fixings.  While we were cooking Wednesday we got a couple of invites to Thanksgiving dinner. Hmmm.  We had invited someone from church that we didn't know to join us on Thanksgiving.  She didn't have a place to go.  Guess what!  Jessica and Mike said bring her and we did!  We put the turkey in the freezer and went to Jessica's sister's home.  It was big family gathering.  We knew Jessica, Mike and Ashley but were welcomed like family by everyone.
 Just like home football was on!  A few people were watching but most were talking to each other.
 Dinner time!
 This is our new friend Julie next to Mike.


 Blessings Under the Bridge Mike!  There were three Mike's in the house.

 We started with beautiful prayers from anyone that wanted to contribute.


Fashion show time!  Costume after costume!  Lots of laughter and joy!





 Thank you to Jessica and Mike for inviting us to share Thanksgiving with your family.  We truly had a great time and felt so welcome and blessed!
