Quiet Family Thanksgiving and Tucking In Plants

Kirby (Al's son-in-law) writes:

Al enjoyed some great days over Thanksgiving and had some good visits and time praying with friends and family.  We had a peaceful family Thanksgiving- Stephanie (my wife, Al's daughter!) whipped up an amazing made-from-scratch pumpkin pie which of course Al enjoyed a healthy slice!

Al did a great job over the weekend coaching Stephanie and Kirby with the final irrigation regimen as we "tuck in" our plants for the winter.  (It is amazing how much Al has stored in his head after more than 30 years managing irrigation!)  After a few minor problems with finicky valves and frozen pipes, the plants were thoroughly saturated.  With help from lots of reinforcement team members, we finished covering all the plants today with frost guard blankets so now everyone can relax and enjoy the winter "hibernation"!

Thanks to all of you for your consistent prayer and encouraging words!  Al indicated that he has lots of thoughts to post to this blog tomorrow so stay tuned!
