Greetings from Sun City West

This is just another try by a not so computer savy couple to see if we really have some news to add to the blog we can do it. Has anyone tried contacting Betty Lou's family to include them in the blogs?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Happy 2nd birthday, Keegan!

Thanksgiving

The Robert Threadgold children held a gathering at Don and Janice's home south of Brookings Friday night. Those who attended: Janice and Don, Erin & Sachan, Megan & Jack, Lucas, Wesley, Donald and Kathleen, Barry, Nicole & Olivia, Theresa & Cole, Katie, Betty & Dale, Heidi, Kebba & Keeda, Hayley, & Keegan, Kathie & Roger, Katie & Ty, Bob's son Brian & Lori.

This was our first Thanksgiving without grandma. I brought her chocolate cake with brown sugar frosting. The frosting was a little soft. We had homemade ice cream, a childhood treat. Donald brought a jar of canned pheasant for everybody to take home. Some chased children. Others played games. Megan had cookies ready for the kids to decorate.

Sorry if I missed somebody or spelled a name wrong. Fix it.

Comments

I did not notice the comments before. If any Threadgolds are reading this, check out the comments. Dick & Bonnie and Jim & Phyllis are there.

I tried to add a picture this morning and could not get it to work. It just goes into html. If anybody knows what is wrong, let me know please. I figured it out. I needed to be on the Compose tab.

I have been thinking that I have heard that a Threadgold cousin was on the Titanic or some other ship that sunk. What does anybody know?

I do not write down birthdays or anniversaries, so I may have missed even my part of the Threadgolds. Feel free to add whatever you want. You can just edit my post or make one of your own.

From Tucson, AZ

Hello everyone--
This is Joan Threadgold, daughter of Don and Kathleen. I'm am living in Tucson, AZ now doing a pharmacy residency at the VA hospital. This is a picture from last month when Laura (Threadgold) and Duane Barringer (in back seat) came to visit. We were on a gondola ride at the resort Laura and Duane stayed at. Laura came for a conference to speak on behalf of John Deere. Also in the picture is my finacee Bryan "Willy" Edwards. He's in Phoenix doing his pharmacy residency at the VA there. Hope everyone has a happy Thanksgiving!

Thank you, Betty.

Hello to all of the Threadgolds! I'm Joanie Threadgold Stevens. I see that my twin sis, Janie, has already signed in. Thank you, Betty, for getting this blog up and running. It will be fun to pop in and see what's going on with everyone. I'm sorry that Joyce Threadgold Dannebaum doesn't "do" computers. It would be fun to read about her news up in Santa Cruz. Janie suggested that we indicate our line so that we all know who you/we are. Excellent idea! Since we're out here in California and many of you are in S. Dakota I do believe that you will know who everyone is with more ease. Our parents both grew up in South Dakota. Ellen Hahn, our mother, grew up in Sioux Falls. Of course our father, Victor William, was raised in Artesian....... his parents being Hannah and Oscar Threadgold. Hopefully by now you all know that you are descendants of a Mayflower passenger, George Soule. Thanks to Robert and Doris Threadgold we learned of that fact a few years ago. We have applied and are now members of the Society of Mayflower Descendants. Best wishes to everyone for a happy holiday season. Think of our George Soule on Thanksgiving.

The children

It is interesting that reponses have come from afar. The four kids that have been pictured are grandchildren of Dale and Betty Anderson, daughter of Robert and Doris Threadgold, granddaughter of Harvey and Gertrude, and great-granddaughter of Oscar and Hannah. Kebba and Keeda are our daughter Heidi's while Bianka and Keegan are a second daughter, Hannah's. We have 2 other children Hayley and Josh and one other grandson, Carter.

Dear "Cousins",
I'm Janie Threadgold, daughter of Victor Threagold, who was a son of Oscar Christian Threadgold and Hannah Bergette Olesdatter Grøthaug. For those of you who probably don't know, we ALL are descended from those wonderful ancestors.

What a great idea to have a Threadgold blog! Now, it would be fun to get to know you a bit. If, when you would post your message, it would be neat to know how you are related in this Threadgold clan. That would really help me, and maybe others, a great deal.

My twin sister Joanie and I just returned from our cabin in the local mountains. Our folks built it in the early 1930's. Pretty neat huh.

Hugs to you all,

Janie

Greetings from Scottsdale, Az.

Hello everyone,

What a great idea to get this going. Dad sent me the link so we will join in with all of you to keep up on the families. We got a new puppy a few months ago so it's a busy schedule. Our 13 year old German Shepherd has been very good to the new arrival. We are including a picture of the two of them. The puppy's name is Sadie, and our old girl is Nala.

Love to all,

Robin & Robert Gearhart

Happy Birthday Heidi & Katie T!!

Stewart children enjoyed Halloween

Here is a picture of Bianka and Keegan on Halloween. She was happy to tell everyone that she was a chicken farmer and Keegan was her chicken!

Kaia and teachers go to Miami (South Beach)

This is a picture of all the teachers I went with over the veteran's day long weekend to Miami beach.

Kaia

Andersons

As of October 1, Dale is officially retired. If the weather holds out, his dad's old gas station will be gone in the next couple of weeks. He will have to start cleaning up his grandfather's stuff then.

checking to see if this works. hayley

Froehlich's

This is my first blog. I'm giving it a shot -- never too old to try something new, I guess.

Don is done mowing at the golf course. Now he has to look for a new retirement job. He already has the Christmas tree up and all the Christmas stuff out of storage. I'm still trying to enjoy my fall and Thanksgiving stuff!

Dave's North Dakota Deer

I just wanted to show you and me what it would look like when a picture is posted. This is Dave Threadgold from North Dakota with his deer. Maybe I will make another post with Barry's.

Blogging

I just took an internet class: Blogs, Wikis, and Podcasts. One of the assignments was to set up a blog, which I am now doing. Blogs are supposed to be the greatest and rank way above e-mail. Not being familiar with them, I could not say this is true. Anyway, all of us should be able to write and post pictures for everybody to see. I think you can comment to any of the posts, but you should create a new post when you want to share something. I tried this with Janice already. She thought it was not that easy to set up an account and both she and Hayley commented rather than posted like I thought they should. So, I made an account that we can all use. I will e-mail directions after I have a trial run with Hayley and Janice.
