Thankful for Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving Holiday was extra special. After 35+ years of wonderful Thanksgiving Holidays at Grandpa Steve & Grandma Marion's, we we held a big family Thanksgiving at our house.  Twenty-nine people came, and we all had such a great time.

Did you know that red eye is caused by the illumination of the retina? The pupil is clear but since it lets light into the eye but not out of it, it appears to be black. For the brief moment of a flash, the camera is able to see the red of the retina through the clear and super brightened pupil. Therefore, red eye.
