Early Thanksgiving Dinner

Last evening I was ever present watching the radar on here to see how the storms were doing. With tornados all over the place and the radar showing the lines of storms from the north US to the southern states, I thought it wise to pay close attention! Thankfully they weakened by the time they got here. We had lots of wind and anything not nailed down got tossed around good! We had lots of lightening. I heard that a church in the northern part of the county was struck by lightening and burned down overnight. So I went out this morning, to MUCH colder weather, and picked up the small limbs that it scattered over some of the lawn. It was 75 yesterday and 48 today. Big change! But it's that time of the year, so not really a surprise. I'm just thankful we didn't get the bad weather that some got.

Today our Sunday School class had our monthly dinner. We had it at one lady's house and she prepared the whole meal. She fixed us a Thanksgiving dinner. I must say it was delicious. She had plenty of food and she is a good cook! I felt like going and climbing in bed and taking a nap after stuffing myself shamelessly!! But after some coffee I managed to stay awake! I got my husband's cousin to come and stay with him while I was gone. It is nice to get out and not have to worry about him here at home alone. Then I don't feel rushed and I can relax and chat and drink coffee and visit without having to eat and run, so to speak! Sure makes it better for me.

I finally got my garage door fixed. The guys came out and I don't know what they did but I saw they had a hammer and after much beating on something, it certainly comes up now with no problem whatsoever. Glad to get that taken care of.

Hard to believe that this year is winding down and will be over before we know it. Time passes so fast. Earlier this week I saw a house with their Christmas lights all on! I feel like they are rushing things, but if they like them then that's their business. My neighbor always decorates his yard big time. He doesn't start on it this early though. I do love looking at the Christmas lights. There is another house about a mile from here that has the prettiest decorations. I mean everything has lights on it. It is the kind of place where you have to stop and just look to take it all in. It is in a subdivision and off the main drag, so stopping to stare and ohhh and ahhh is an okay thing to do! I could not begin to even guess how many lights it takes for all that. About a gazillion I'd say!
