           It was about 60 degrees today and windy.  Who would have thought it could be that cold here in Honduras!  I cut my walk short by a couple of laps.  The cold wasn’t bad, but the wind was.

          There is a nice organ in the chapel in the temple and it is programmed to play hymns.  They play all day—over and over again.  The music is mellow and doesn’t really feel repetitive unless you work at the front desk next to the open door to the chapel.  I noticed a change in the sound this week and realized that a Christmas menu has been selected and we now have Christmas hymns playing all day and it feels good!

          Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!  It was a great day except for missing family and not being with loved ones to celebrate.  However, I watched the Macy’s parade on TV and later Glade saw a couple of quarters of football before we went to the temple to face a busy schedule.  It was a relaxing, feel-good day; and we have so many blessings to be grateful for.  I hope your Thanksgiving, wherever you spent it, was wonderful, and that you created memories to recall with happy hearts.   

The "Trunchbowl and Miss Honey" from the Musical Matilda

The little girl who sang was so great.  I loved her accent.

Of course, the Rockettes lived up to their reputation.

I don't remember which group this was, but they were fun to watch.
When I was growing up, watching the parade on Thanksgiving morning, with eggnog in hand, was a strong tradition; and we watched right up until football started.  Then we turned off the TV and found other fun.
There were no football fans in my family.  

Happy Thanksgiving!

We are  headed out to the temple.
