Another Thanksgiving and time for us
to remember the blessings which God has
given us.
This year our oldest daughter was on
duty in the Intensive Care Unit of the
Genesee Hospital in Rochester, New York
and. unable for the first time to spend
Thanksgiving with us.

home from Alfred University and our son
came from Delaware Valley College and we
had a joyous reunion. But now she has a
job which she likes and that is important,
too. „
When we sit down at our Thanksgiving
table, we usually take account of all the
goodies and count the number which have
come from our farm. Often cranberries will
be the only thing we haven’t
