Jean Borgeson was one of several friends who were able to spend Thanksgiving in the home of Pam Chance in Jamaica. Pam, who is still recovering from a stroke at On With Life in Ankeny, was able to spend the day and night under the supervision of her daughter and husband, Melissa and Robert Borgeson. All I can say is, if “laughter is the best medicine,” she certainly had a big dose of it! The day brought out the best in the cooks and there was plenty for everyone to take home their supper and probably lunch the next day!
Saturday evening, Jean Borgeson enjoyed her three sons and their families for supper at ToJo ’s. Besides having everyone at the same table, another advantage is no one has to cook and everyone orders what they like! Those attending were Michael and Jill, Jace and Seth; Robert and Melissa; and Alan, Sarah, Kane and Kale, and Jenna Beyers. After my birthday last month, (that one pushed me closer to 80 than 70), I’m well aware it’s another year to be thankful for family that lives close enough to share a special meal together once in a while.
