Thanksgiving at Rainbow Lutheran Camp

On Thanksgiving, Marshall still had some back pain but it had let up quite a bit so a few Tylenol was all he needed to get up and around and we headed out to the Rainbow Lutheran Camp for Thanksgiving dinner.  This camp is set way out in the woods in a gorgeous building with breathtaking views and every year they prepare a Thanksgiving dinner for close to 200 people at no charge.  They have a donation basket for people who can afford to donate.

The Lutheran Camp volunteers work all Wednesday night to prepare a full Thanksgiving meal (turkey, dressing, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, rolls, ham, yams and pumpkin pie).  And when the meal is over, everyone gets to pile up with leftovers to take home with them.  We've gone there for the past four years and it has become a tradition for us.

Here are some pictures to show you what an idyllic setting this is.  This has been a tough year but we have a lot to be thankful for.  We hope that all of you also had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Dining Hall -- 30 minutes after I took this picture, every table was filled.
We arrived pretty early and Marshall met a guy from Virginia who
also used to be a truck driver -- they were swapping stories.
