We made our yearly pilgrimage to Sky Haven Ranch for the 01 Thanksgiving weekend.  The house quest count for the slumber party this year was a manageable 15 souls.  We also had Megan's family on Friday night along with Sal & Betty plus Jeff & Weston.  The plumbing held out pretty good, but the hot water system needed attention on Wednesday night. An exciting storm late Friday night left us without power or water for Saturday.  As expected, Captain Tim had a number of projects going, including putting in a hardwood floor, and building a tree house.

Our chefs out did themselves as usual.  The food was superb, but being operationally oriented, I was overly impressed with Claudy's facility management.  Even with 20 people snacking, there never seem to be any dirty dishes laying around (until we lost water).

The kids are the flowers of our lives, a sight to behold that leaves you warm and content.

The rebonding of old friendships was of course, priceless.
