Thursday, November
24,
2016: Thanksgiving. It
is that time of year again to give thanks for what we have. We in America
are blessed. |

Ruttger's
Bay Lake Lodge, about 15 miles east of Brainerd, was having Thanksgiving
dinner that day. Reservations were required and Hostess Jess was there to greet guests. |
 |
 |
|
Local musician Jim Olsen provided background music, as
he has for many years. Just right for an occasion like this. Ruby's Dining Room was where everyone was headed. This is a lodge that has been around one hundred years. It is complete with a huge fireplace and ceiling hangings that help control sound with a warm and inviting atmosphere. |

(l-r) Dave and Jean Schaeffer joined Paula and Mark at a dinner
table. Dave dove right into the wonderful food so it was difficult for him to smile
at the moment. Dave is a retired Delta Airline pilot. He was a U.S. Air Force B-52 pilot before that. Dave has been all over this world of ours. Mark and Paula were wearing fall colors on this Thanksgiving day. |

|
Ruttger's knows how to put on turkey, along with pecan pie
dessert.
|
 |
| Paula has always enjoyed the outdoors.....and throwing snowballs in winter. |
Quote of the day:
It doesn't get any better than this. Mark
