| Yesterday there was a knock on the door. It was 4 little girls all bundled up warm, asking to do some outside chores. I couldn't think of anything for them to do outside, so I invited them in to dust for me. Afterward they stayed to play awhile. I still have some of my youngest daughter's formals left so the girls played dress-up. Aren't they beautiful?
My oldest daughter brought these flowers for me. (Her friend owns a flower shop in town.) The little figures were painted by my mother-in-law, who passed away 7 years ago.
And finally, yesterday morning it was so beautiful when the sun first came up, that I had to take a picture of the light shining on the trees.
Have a good weekend, and remember to worship and thank the Creator.

| My camera isn't cooperating lately, so this is the best picture I could get. It's part of the ID bracelet that I had when I was a little girl. During the 2nd World War our government wanted all children to have one. This has my name on one side, and on the other my mother had a Bible reference inscribed.
It is Colossians 3:17 which says "And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the
Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him."
I don't remember wearing it, but I have had it in my jewelry box ever since I can remember.
It is a great verse for Thanksgiving Day, and a great verse for every day. Now, if we could just remember to do it....................

| I believe that was the sign Winnie the Pooh left on his door in one of the stories.
Sat. was get ready for Sunday. Sat. night was a dance. We just learned 3 new steps to the FoxTrot last Tues. and forgot them by Sat. Oh well. We had fun anyway.
Sun. was SS, church, family dinner, and communion in the evening. Communion was at our house for our Sunday School class. 24 of us were here. We had a carry-in-meal, foot washing, then the bread and cup. We have never done this in a home before. It went very well, and we were blessed.
Today I'm taking my mom to do some errands. Tomorrow GE and the 2 little girls are coming over. Wed. I get my hair cut, and Lynnae comes over to help me clean. Then Thanksgiving. I'm baking the turkey and making gravy. Also I'll make a birthday cake as we'll celebrate 3 birthdays that day. The rest of the family will bring the rest of the food. We're pretty traditional.....turkey, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, stuffing, rolls, broccoli-cheese casserole, sweet potatoes, veggie tray, jello jigglers and cookies for the kids (and young at heart, or should I say young tummies?), pumpkin pies.
Anyway, all this to say I'm busy, and I'll post again when I can. Happy Thanksgiving!
