OLSON FAMILY SCRAPBOOK V – THANKSGIVING FEASTS FROM 1970-2000 WITH FAMILY & FRIENDS – By Lorelie & Tim Olson

The year is 1995, the place is Dave’s and Betty’s home in Wood River.  The Thanksgiving table is set, waiting for the guests to arrive and the festivities to begin!

1995 is a long time ago and, yet, it is near the mid-point of the years our family and friends have gathered together  to celebrate Thanksgiving. 

We are inviting you to enjoy photos of us from pictures in the 70’s to the 2000’s  taken in 6 different homes.

Grandma Ida is not reflecting on her blessings; she's thankful that, at last, she is not doing all the work.
Goodness, the children are now adults.
Lorelie & Tim take a break after dishes are cleared away.
Handsome fellows!

       1990’s – 2000’s   NORTH BEND, ISSAQUAH, REDMOND, MARYSVILLE               Ah, how the years slip by us.  While the kids grow up, we adults would like to think we aren’t changing at all. Alan & Susan move north to Washington; Dave & Betty follow to Wood River; Tom & Joanne move to North Bend.  Kathy & Keith join us each year.  Thanksgiving moves from parents’ to grown-up children’s to guests’ homes.  

We celebrate in Wood River!
