Thanksgiving on the Farm

Sunday, November 19, Karen picked us up at the airport at noon and took us to Jeff's beautiful new South Hill home for a potluck lunch with all the family!  The cousins all connected right away, and it was great to be together with my twin again... Kevin-n-Kathy. XOXOX 
My Grandpa Klein turned 95 the next month... 50 years ahead of me and doing great!  A highlight of my trip to get to spend time with him, and at his house since my folks have moved into the homestead to take care of him!  Clayton immediately fell in love with the farm cats. :)
Brandon drove across from Bozeman after finals... the boys loved the competition of ping pong in the basement.  Dad did a great job renovating the space for us to enjoy!
Love the farm scapes of the chicken coop and big red barn!
And sweet reunions with dear friends - Mary Jo, Jean, and Monica for lunch Monday! 
 Wanda for lunch Tuesday!  She had just heard news of prostate cancer in Greg.  Praying. XOX
