Thanksgiving, 1980's
Most of these photos are from 1987---Lake Sherwood, Mo. L-R Ron Long, Jaclyn Long Morgan, Louise Long, James Long. Below Louise Long, James Long, Grover Morgan As the song below says . . .
We had to go over the Missouri river, up and down the hills of St. Charles County and through the woods at Lake Sherwood. Note the "pineapple turkey" in front of me. Below: Rebecca Morgan and Lynn Provost---note the place cards made by the kids.
(We did make a few changes to the traditional song below---one year we slid down the hills in the snow---sideways!)
Over the River and
Through the Woods
Over the river and thru the wood,
To grandfather's house we go;
The van knows the way
To carry family,
Thru the white and drifted snow, oh!
Over the river and thru the wood,
Oh, how the wind does blow!
It stings the toes,
And bites the nose,
As over the road we go.
Through the Woods
Over the river and thru the wood,
To grandfather's house we go;
The van knows the way
To carry family,
Thru the white and drifted snow, oh!
Over the river and thru the wood,
Oh, how the wind does blow!
It stings the toes,
And bites the nose,
As over the road we go.

This photo is from 1980---Leah looks about 1 year old. Note the frilly "socks" on the turkey---made by a grandchild, I'm sure. L-R Rebecca Morgan, Leah Morgan, Lynn Provost, Rachel Morgan (where is Doug in all of these photos---probably downstairs with Grandpa's trains)
