Schumachers: Thanksgiving

I Hope you all had a GREAT Thanksgiving! We had such a nice day. It was like 60 degrees out! So even though I thought we might have a white Thanksgiving, it turned out that we most definitely did not. The day started just like any other day for us. Feeding cow, doing chores, and putting up posts for a new wind break. But at about 4:30 our family started coming. We made it a Thanksgiving supper because our family had other plans for dinner. The whole Engelhart family came down, and also 2 couple/neighbors came over. There were quite a few of us but Mom and with Jolene's help put out an amazing Thanksgiving feast!

This last year we have been Blessed so abundantly. The Lord has done amazing things in each one of our lives. When you think of all the blessings He has sent your way remember always in all seasons to give thanks to God.

Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:18

I think my favorite thing of the day was making more memories on the hay bales. Right now our hay fence is, well, pretty much stuffed full of stacks of bales. you can go all the way back to the road from the grain bins jumping bales. When we were all younger and the cousins would come, the hay bales were a big thing. We would go back and spend hours chasing each other of just jumping. Now that all the cousins are getting older and getting married off there are only us younger ones that have the old interest in the hay bales. Even though we haven't been back to play in too long yesterday was the day, and may I add we had a blast!!! We took Daffy, Frisco, and Dakota ( 3 of our horses ) and rode double back to the bales. The horses enjoyed it as much as we did I think because while they waited for us they got to eat some on the alfalfa bales.

After a few rounds of hide and go seek tag we were pretty tired from all the jumping and running so we resorted to just sitting and talking till the sun went down. Such good memories!
