11/23/06: Thanksgiving Day celebration

Greetings!

David, Dora, and daughter-in-law, Mary, have been staying at the hotel in the hospital since dad's release from the hospital on Monday. On the advice of the cardiologist, dad did not make the journey back to Woodland. He checks back into the hospital on Monday, 11/27/06, for the defibrillator implant on Tuesday. So, since the family could not have Thanksgiving at home, the Thanksgiving celebration travelled to Reno.

Doug, Sr., Debbie, Doug, Jr, and Daniel picked up a Thanksgiving dinner (with all the trimmings) from Boston Market and drove up the Reno hospital. Doug, Sr., sliced the turkey, and we all ate too much -- from nuts and spinach-artichoke appetizers to yams, stuffing, creamed spinach, mashed potatoes, gravy, and two kinds of pie for dessert (apple and pumpkin). We laughed and celebrated, and gave thanks. However, we all missed Jeric who had to work a Cache Creek Casino today and could not come with us.

Below are Thanksgiving messages to our family and friends from David, Dora, Doug, Jr., and Daniel. Doug, Sr., Mary, and Debbie supervised the audio productions for our four Thanksgiving podcasters.
