For a Virginia family,
Thanksgiving is a time
to come together with
their nearest and dearest
in a resurrected barn,
sharing favorite southern
dishes and counting
each and every blessing.

Dianne and Bill Nordt
and their collie, Woody,
hold down the fort.
Above, in the hayloft,
are their kids (from

16; and Eudora, 14.
Opposite: Inside the barn,
a wreath made from
magnolia leaves strung
on a wire ring hangs
over the holiday buffet.
