Wow! What a great week! We have been so busy getting things ready for the Winter that it was hard to slow down and remember Thanksgiving. See all the wood outside our window? We have to cut all that up, plus about 8-10 times as much as you see to get prepared. Some people may understand the major process this all is to store up for the winter. I have really taken advantage of central heat in my lifetime. There is wood all over our front yard! Thankfully, it hasn't snowed to stay... yet.
It was very easy to be grateful this Thanksgiving though. We had some men from our branch come and help us Thanksgiving morning to cut, split, and stack wood. It was such a great service and we are so thankful for it! The church has blessed our lives yet again.
We spent Thanksgiving at the Harry's home. They are some friends from our branch and have three of the cutest and funnest kids around. We enjoyed a great dinner prepared by Jenn and myself, and then some games with the five adults (Ben had a mission companion there) that were there while the kids ran around... all hyped up on pie. The turkey didn't even phase them!
Dan and I contributed to the consumer's weekend by taking a trip down to Binghamton yesterday. We are sad that Christmas comes a couple of weeks too late because when a person needs snow gear, it can't wait till Christmas. So Dan bought me a boarding coat and I bought him some Carhartt gear so he can have something new to get greasy. Luckily, that is what that brand is made for. After ou r wonderful shopping experience, we went out to eat at a Chinese Buffet. We were tired and very hungry. It was good food, but just to add to all the experiences we have had this week, my fortune cookie said, "Eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow you may diet, " and we had a good laugh. What made us laugh quite a lot more is that Dan saved his for the car ride home and he opened his to find that he didn't even get a fortune. Good times!
