Thanksgiving Thursday!

I was up early and went out... and the weather was fabulous... Ran my 10K! I got home and started the turkey soup with the bag of bones that Alan brought home from his Soochow Thanksgiving Dinner. Yes, this year he only brought home two bags of turkey bones... nothing else! No pie, no mashed potatoes -- NOTHING BUT BONES!

Isaiah took off for work. Alan took off for work. I took a shower and had a delicious breakfast! And the house smells so good... the turkey soup in the instant pot... I did our Christmas decorations. YIPPY! We keep the decorations very simple! I will add a strand of lights... Alan likes Christmas lights and I have a small ceramic Christmas tree and 'house' which light up... and that's it! Yes, no gifts! Jesus is the best gift, so we never got into exchanging gifts. 

At 12:15 I went out to meet the teacher who put together the singing contest yesterday. She couldn't find Alan's scoring papers... Anyhow, she brought the wrong page and I couldn't wait. I told her that I'll meet her at 4:15. So, off I went to run my errands: buy black jello, pay a bill, get my scooter tuned up, transfer money, buy soda stream cartridges. I was home by 2pm and the soup was ready. I took out all the bones and put in the potatoes, onion, veggies, etc. And yes, the house smells fabulous!

At 4:00, I took off again. She had the right paper and after signing it, I went for my two hour massage! So nice! What a treat! I was home by 7pm and started dinner prep: making lots of grilled cheese sandwiches and adding more stuff to the soup!

Our friends came over for dinner at 8pm and Alan and Isaiah were home from playing basketball and we had a great evening. At 9:15, there was a group thanksgiving prayer time online. What a fun and evening of gratitude!
