Thanksgiving celebration

Well it's time to plan our Thanksgiving Day. I've provided Jon, Renee and Becky separate maps to our event but enough about that for now. They know what to do. So, let's get this going.

Jeannie and I plan to host a Wednesday soup/salad supper at our house and anyone needing lodging is sure welcome here. We have lots of room and a wood stove that will be warm & toasty so if you can stay with us we'd love to have you.

For Thanksgiving day we have reserved the retreat camp near our house. For you that did not get the tour it's a lot like the Grange except there is more outside stuff to do - if the weather permits. I think right now we need to know who is planning to come for Thanksgiving Day and for Wednesday evening; later we can work out who brings what. Please let Jeannie and me know by e-mail or posting on this blog your family's plans for this giving of Thanks Day.

Love to all,

Marcus

Thanksgiving 2008 will be hosted by Marcus and Jeannie, as Renee' and Lee have a full month of November--driving from Florida to California, and returning just in time for Thanksgiving. This summer, during our Quiltie Chick gathering, several of us toured the church camp just up the road from our home and decided to give it a try for this year--Chihowa Retreat Center. We have it reserved for Thanksgiving Day. Spacious kitchen and large gathering room and plenty of outdoor trails for those who would like some exercise and fresh air. We promise to get an official invitation posted shortly, and will host a supper for those who want to come on Wed night. We should have beds for any who want to plan to stay with us.

Hope all are of you are doing well! Love, Jeannie Sr

Just read on Ashley's blog that her water broke and she headed to the hospital!

How are you doing?

Hey everyone just checking it to see what is new in your neck of the woods. :) I don't know if anyone is reading the Merritt blog or not. I am curious to see who comments to this post...... I have been keeping up with Ashley's blog about the baby coming soon. I am sooooo excited to find out if it is a girl or a boy. Jason have you figured out how to post? Call me if you need some help. It's not as user friendly as other sites I have used....Zach I would love to hear some more history from you. Thanksgiving is coming up so I think this blog will be a great place to make plans......I hope all is well with you and have a happy day......Love all of you Kelly
