Thanksgiving

It is Thanksgiving Eve. In a month it will be Christmas Eve! I just love this time of year. This evening we had our Thanksgiving service at church, followed by a pie social. We strategically skipped dinner so that there would be more pie capacity. Good move! The pies were fantastic! I had 3 pieces, all of a different variety. Some of the teenage boys may have had as many as 6, which is okay since there was more pie than the Russian army could eat in a year, and those kids are about as thin as anyone could be without being in danger of falling through sewer grates. After church and pie we stopped by Waddell's pub to watch the end of the Gonzaga-Cincinnati basketball game, the championship of the Maui Invitational. GU won in overtime so it turned out to be a great evening. The place was packed with Zag fans and a lot of other folks who were thankful that they don't have to work in the morning. A good number of them will be even more thankful when they wake up tomorrow!

The weather today was beautiful. I spent a good part of the day visiting members of the church, some who are pretty much housebound and can't get to church on Sunday. It was very nice, and with the sun shining and temperatures on the mild side it was nice to be out and about. Tomorrow is looking pretty good too, but probably cloudier. We are going to spend Thanksgiving with some very close friends, and that should be a real treat. They adopted triplets a couple of years ago, and the little ones are now 3 and a half. It is so much fun watching those kids destroy everything their path. That's what little kids love to do, especially when there are 3 of them.
