My car, "Cherry"

After Herm had purchased his Honda Goldwing, I told him when we bought a new vehicle, I wanted to be the one to pick it out. So when the "Cash for Clunkers" deal came out, we decided to trade in our 1980's Ford Ranger pickup for a new car. One of my most favorite cars that we have owned was a Nissan Sentra, so I knew that would be one to consider this time around. My dad was a "Chevy" man, so I felt I should at least look at them, plus I went to the Honda dealership. But I really liked the 09 Sentra, so we bought this one. My 3-year-old preschool class nicknamed it "Cherry". While in CA for Thanksgiving, I had the grandkids down there pose in it.

Thanksgiving 09

Herm & I drove down to Oceanside, CA to celebrate with California family.
Eric got the job of carving the turkey.

The rest of us enjoyed the eating part.

In Salem, Chase celebrates his first Thanksgiving.
Besides turkey and mashed potatoes,
he got to teeth on the turkey leg bone.

We also celebrated Thanksgiving in Salem on the Sunday before the holiday.
