Thanksgiving in Decatur, Texas

Decatur, Texas: November 24, 2005



Delton’s youngest brother Tim and his wife Kim were host to our family in their new home just outside of Decatur. Tim recently retired from the Navy and his family moved from California back to Texas. They are really happy about being back to the greatest state in the USA. The house is wonderful with over 3900 square feet, over six acres of land and a swimming pool. In addition, they have a 1500 square foot detached and insulated garage that they call the barn. This is where we have stored most of our belongings.


Delton’s Mom, brothers and their families joined in for the Thanksgiving feast. Brother Max was unable to join us because he was in the middle of stripping cotton. Mom had brought her famous peanut butter fudge which we have enjoyed eating since we were boys. She also made her turkey dressing. It’s better than anything else you will ever eat.


As always, the boys had to watch the Cowboy game. It’s great to see them winning again. We also had a good game of golf on Friday at Lake Kiowa. We fielded two teams and played scramble. After eighteen holes we ended up with a tie. On Saturday, we went back to Tim and Kim’s house for more food and games.
