Thanksgiving Day was a time of great rejoicing at the Phillips family thanks in large part to the efforts of a most faithful wife. Beall poured many hours of love and labor to make the day beautiful and memorable.
Friends and family gathered around our twenty seat table to give thanks to the Lord and enjoy his bountiful and generous provision.
Here is a view of Beall’s setting just before we took our seats. Note the presence of the peanut soup —- which faithful blog readers will recall IS the greatest soup in the world.
Above is an image of friends and family from a different angle.
After dinner we took turns reading four or five chapters from Of Plymouth Plantation, told stories of the Pilgrims, sang, fiddled, played board games, ate desert, and rejoiced until about Midnight —- all in all, a grand day!
