Thanksgiving weekend 2008

Hello Family!

Amy and I hope all of you had a fun and relaxing Thanksgiving weekend! This year Amy had the pleasure of having Amy’s parents, my mom, Julie, Joe, and Amber for dinner on Thanksgiving. The meal was traditional was WONDERFUL with turkey and all the trimmings followed up by Amy’s perfect apple, pumpkin, and shoe-fly pies (yes…there were three pies for only 8 people !!!!)




On Friday, Amy and I went to Salida to watch the annual Christmas parade followed by the lighting of the Christmas tree and fireworks on Tenderfoot Mountain visible from Main Street in downtown Salida. After the mountain lighting parade, we walked along the path in Riverside Park which was lined with dozens of decorated Christmas trees then headed to the Salida Steam Plant Theater for some free hot chocolate, cookies, and dancing to some live jazz.



















On Saturday it was cool but clear and we hiked along some wonderful trails near Buena Vista followed by some great live (and unusal) music ([kind of middle eastern blue grass] at our Bongo Billies Salida café.




We hope each of you were able to make some “memories” over the weekend. Amy and I are so very, very thankful to have each of you in our lives. We are truly blessed!!!

Peace and good health to all of you!!!!

Love,

Greg and Amy
