          Our Thanksgiving dinner today was great!  It was our “P-day” and the temple presidency and senior missionary couples each provided a part of the meal and met in the comedor at 1:00 for a “feast.”  The food tasted good and it was nice to socialize a little and share something we were thankful for.  I made the raspberry pretzel salad (had to pay dearly for the only package of frozen raspberries in two stores) and an apple crisp.  Glade ordered three dozen rolls from our bakery (the owner actually delivered them fresh to us at noon) and that completed our contribution.  We were happy that we had left-over turkey and pumpkin pie in our fridge so we could enjoy those tonight.

          After the dinner, we went to the lounge and watched “Ephraim’s Rescue” and loved it.  It was full of courage, commitment, sacrifice, heartache, and miracles. 

It was a very nice day and certainly sufficed for a Thanksgiving celebration.  Thursday morning we will be able to see the big parade on network TV and Glade might even get part of a football game before we start our temple shift at 1:00 p.m.

          Good luck with all of your varied holiday plans this year.  Be careful traveling and I hope you all have a wonderful time sharing and building more tradition.  Love you all so much!

           

 

You can see Glade at top right, but I forgot to give the camera to someone to take a  picture of Glade and me together--oh well--next time.  :)
