Early Thanksgiving worship

We didn’t walk this morning as we should. Instead I went to sign us up for the golf club. It has several dinners during the year and some breaks on prices but not as much as I thought. When I returned, I began cleaning the Texas room by moving things out and running both the small and large vacuums. Evelyn spent the morning baking the pecan pies for tomorrow. She also went to the hall to give a copy of an announcement of the trip to Harlingen to the office so it can be distributed to all the ladies in the park. We also got a call from her brother John telling us that Mom’s sister Jean had died. She has only one sister, Pauline, left alive. Mom herself is ill with something that is sweeping through the wing in which she lives at the retirement village. At noon we ate a lunch of leftover ham, and then I continued cleaning while Evelyn cleaned the kitchen. Then she lay down to rest. We didn’t eat dinner so we could go to church early. We had a Thanksgiving service this evening instead of tomorrow. We all need to be reminded that God is the One we owe thanks to. I also wanted to go early to get some insert sheets that I can use for worship and Bible study at Trail’s End. In the afternoon I worked on trying to make an announcement bulletin to post at Trail’s End this week. I have a terrible time working the new “improved” Microsoft Works. It should be easier but not to me. We returned home after worship and watched TV. Evelyn doesn’t like my detective shows so she reads junk novels instead. The temperature here has been marvelous here all week. It has been warm during the day and cool at night: 80s and 50s. We thought of our daughter Stacy and her family visiting her husband Tom’s mother in Cleveland. They left Tuesday and will be there during a predicted blizzard on Thanksgiving Day. I hope they can make it back on time. It will be questionable. We will pray for them.
