Happy Thanksgiving!


I hope you are all having a great Thanksgiving featuring friends, family and food!


Rob and I spent some time on Saturday at the Blackfoot with the dogs.
They were pretty happy to get to smell new smells! There were sure a lot of other people there, including a dozen or so horse trailers. Poor Ginger wanted to join in a soccer game and was very disappointed to not be allowed to join in.
Having the CRV has been great with the dogs; the back seats fold down to create a little doggy pen, and it is so much easier to help Mike into.
Sunday night we went to my parents for a traditional Turkey dinner. It was yummy. Something about the traditional family holiday dinners that is the ultimate in comfort food. Dad is doing great and has put on considerable weight since the spring, so my family was obviously pretty thankful about that!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving to you too Karen! I've missed you around HT! Very glad to hear your Dad is doing so well, I'm really happy for you. It must've been really strange to prepare for the opposite, and then have him defy all the doctor's predictions - what are they currently saying, or is just a "take it day by day" kind of thing?

Hey, did that person in the background of your photo lose their horse or something?! Looks like she(?) is just sitting there by herself...?

Dad seems to have responded to the Vidaza treatment, so still goes weekly for testing, but isn't always needing transfusions!

We were on a non-horse trail...I think that lady just collapsed for a break...about 50 meters into the trail!
