A snowy and slick pilgrimage north for Thanksgiving was done by several of the Bragg "kids." The rather harrowing drive Wednesday night was rewarded by a sunny wintry Thursday, complete with snowladen trees, glistening, fresh snow on the ground, and cold, crisp air.

Jojo multitasking: Walking with the family and dogs, scoping the land for a perspective Christmas tree, and enjoying a glass of wine!

Mark helped Mom prepare the Thanksgiving meal. Yes, that would be a blowtorch he is using to brown-up the skin of the turkey which was cooked in a Nesco. We love the way a Nesco cooks the turkey, keeping it succulent, but the color is always rather bland--so Mark decided to try this method and....

My brother, Bob, treated us to some phenomenal homemade breads that weekend! The bread was perfect--a really crusty crust, but a soft center.

The day-after Thanksgiving the "kids" spent a few hours supporting the local economy and reconnecting with our old community.

We observed the annual holiday parade in downtown Rhinelander. It was a rather chilly evening and I'm afraid poor Bill and Scott were caught off-guard. That's Bill bundled up in blanket from our car and Scott wearing a double-hat. They were good sports and did not have to suffer long because the parade was very short!

I just love the police vehicles in Rhinelander with the hodags on them!

Lots of ATVs were featured in this parade.

That would be Happy the Hodag riding in this vehicle.

I believe this was the Girl Scout Troop walking by dressed as ornaments and Christmas trees.

Mom's Thanksgiving table looked great! Scrumptious looking turkey and Bob-bread. And I'm feeling kind of incomplete for never having witnessed the Rhinelander parade. Looks fun!
