I was trying to adjust my camera today, and when I unloaded the pictures this is what was on it. My face, beyond all imagination. It almost scared me when I finally figured out it was my own face. Oh, for the love of cameras. My pretty picture of white snapdragons growing in a planter stationed in the mouth of my snake tree root will have to wait to be posted later. I just had to show my Halloween picture the camera decides to take. If it hadn’t been for the sky I wouldn’t have been able to tell if my head was upside down or not. This time the joke is on me.
I have had a good day. The guys got a lot of painting done on Chuck’s house, and I fixed them bar-b-q burgers for lunch. The work is coming along nicely. I’m so thankful for this small crew of good workers. Again I have been blessed to have them work for me. If anyone ever needs some good all-around workers for your home or yard let me know and I will recommend them to you. The man and his two sons are Christians and are satisfied to live on whatever the Lord gives them. There is not too many of those kind around any more. However, because of another job and some health issues the dad cannot work but two days a week, and just four hours a day at that. His boys are young and do not work without dad to instruct them. They do get a lot done in the four hours they work.
As far as I know I will be staying home for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I am not sure if I will have company or not, but I am not up to going away from home for awhile yet. I have friends here who can share with me my hopes and expectations. If nothing else we can go out to eat the most wonderful Thanksgiving dinner you ever tasted right here at home. It is a yearly happening sponsored by businesses and churches who want to share there blessings with those who do not have family close by to share with.
I have never participated in one of these dinners yet, as I usually go to be with children, but several of my friends have gone every year to enjoy good food and fellowship. I think it would be fun to change the style of celebrating Thanksgiving for once. I remember when my children were young we always went to our parents house for Thanksgiving and Christmas. But after they grew up, got married and had children of their own, it was like when their children grew up they wanted to come back to their home for Holidays. So the time does come when grandparents have to travel to their children’s homes or stay at their own home. When one has three or four children it’s better to stay at home and go out to eat someone else’s good food. I think I will do that this year.
God Bless
