Nov. 27, 2008, Thanksgiving Day

In this modern day, some things don't change, like my wonderful family.
but this miracle of communicating across the miles. A great way to keep in touch, and to know how much we care for each other.
I remember what Jesus said, greater things will you do. That's what we are doing with these tools we have been given: to speak the truth in love, to lift up what is edifying and joyful.
This noon we attended worship with a quaker congregation, and then sat down to a marvelous potluck meal. We brought stuffing that was oh so good, and ate too much. Tomorrow I will try fasting. Linda and I will be driving 500 miles to get to Ken and Gladys' in Searcy ARkansas. We'll think of you as we go. Love to all, Dad, Lolo.

We are having beautiful fall weather, with lots of red and yellow leaves. Many interesting things going on. Tuesday is voting day, a chance to get a new direction, although we know one person can't do it all, but he can give a new vision. Connie and Linda both voted early, so maybe there won't be so many in line.
We were able to talk to Trale "live" via computer. It was great. This is birthday time! Tomorrow is Becky's and Wednesday is Linda's, and Andrea's on the 13th or 14th.
This blog is such a great way to keep in touch. Love to all. God is good, all the time! Ensign.

My turn: I am thankful that Connie and Linda live here. I am included on their activities--swimming, biking, and socializing. Connie often cooks vegeterian meals for us which are varied and very tasty. Do you think we should eat more veggies and less meat because meat uses up lots of grain and water?
The pictures from Lake Geneva are great, both indoors and outdoors--an unforgettable time. Linda and I went to a festival at the home town of Patricia Mitchell (who was with us at Geneva.) Her family has had a food booth there with cat fish and chicken for 16 years, a jolly affair for the whole town.
I note we talk a lot about food. I'm glad for the nourishment of our minds and spirits which God sends our way (even at festivals like Patricia's where we felt the wonderful unity of family and neighbors. ) Love to each and all. Ensign
