I was rudely awakened this morning by a beep noise. I thought it was the computer but it was coming from over my head. It was the carbon monoxide detector. I turned on the light and looked at it. The display said "zero" Then it beeped again and the display said, "L6" I thought what is L6? Then through my sleepy eyes I realized it was Lb or Low Battery. I dragged my self to the kitchen and got the new batteries and changed them. I made some coffee and put on the weather. Thanksgiving Day doesn't look good. Showers are in the forecast with rain on Friday. I did my computer work and hung up some more things on the walls. I put a framed collage up in the kitchen. I was going to paint the frame but I figured I could hang it until I got to painting it. That may have to wait until spring and warmer weather. I hung a couple brass plates in the kitchen also. I put the vases of silk flowers that were on the mantle in Vineland on the triple dresses in the bedroom and put another vase of silk flowers in the second bathroom. The colors of pink and blue go well with that room. I got the vase for my mother when I was in Paris. The vases on the triple dresser were from Ted's funeral. I'm slowly getting things put in place.
I went to the ecumenical Thanksgiving service tonight. It was held at St. Rose of Lima on the North Side of Chesapeake. While I was driving over, I thought I wouldn't know anyone there. When I went to the one in Vineland, there were lots of people from my church and my neighbors who lived in back of me were there. I walked in and went up front to sit down. I turned around as I was about to sit down and saw three ladies from the Methodist Church where I attend. One was Frances who goes to the exercise class with me. She waved for me to sit with them. One lady was Linda who is the church secretary. The third lady I recognized from church but didn't know her. Frances introduced me. The lady was wearing a very strong perfume. It was the reason I went all the way up front when I first went in. When I sang the hymns, I could taste the perfume in the air. It's a wonder I didn't gag on it. Linda got sick toward the end of the service. We all went out during the last hymn. Frances was driving and Linda and Betty came with her.
Most churches here are very small but it's a small town. The Priest said the Ecumenical Assoc. does a wonderful job in helping the poor. He marveled at the resources they had and how they were able to stretch every penny. They did a better job than his mother. One lady announced the toy drive was overflowing with toys for the children and asked to let them know of any families in the community who were in need of help.
