It appears that we will be hav
ing a different kind of Thanksgiv

it in Atlanta with some of our
children. We will drive to Balti

Georgia.
For the first time in 45 years, I
will not be making filling and snif
fing a big turkey. Although for a
few years, I have had the big turk
ey cut in half and found that that
was sufficient. We had the other
half for Christmas dinner.
Two of our children live near
Atlanta and the youngest child,
who moved to Texas this summer,
will also fly to Georgia for the
holiday. We’ll have five days to
see how our grandchildren have
grown. It will certainly be a diffe
rent few days.

There are still a number of
things stored on the attic of the

another small truckload of chain
and papers. I had kept newspapers
that had headlines of national
interest and also those that listed
deaths of family memben. There
is also a box of letters from ser
vicemen from the 19405. hi one of
the boxes I found some very old
almanacs and I’m anxious to find
time to look at them, although a
few are in German. Maybe when
winter comes, ITI find time.
