I just remembered the Thanksgiving service was tonight. I forgot all about it. I went to Middletown this morning did my grocery shopping and got gas in my car. The pump display read press debit or credit. I pressed credit and it went back to the first screen that said "slide credit card or go inside for prepayment. After I did this a few times, I moved to a different pump. I noticed another person pull into the 1st pump and soon left to find another.
When I got home, Erin and I made tuna sandwiches and had some pumpkin roll that I just bought. It was good but I bet homemade is a lot better. Erin is going to make one when she gets back.
She went to spend the weekend with her grandmother in CN. I took her to the train station in Wilmington. It is usually a half hour drive so I allowed 45 minutes. The traffic on Interstate 95 was horrific. We went about 10 miles an hour until we got past the exit for the Delaware Memorial Bridge. The bridge connects with the New Jersey Turnpike to New York or route 40 to Atlantic City.
It took us about an hour but we got there in plenty of time for the train. It too, was about a half hour late. It was Erin's first train ride. She was excited about it. The traffic going home was heavy but it moved along at 65 mph.
I had some supper and watched Burn Notice. I'm ready to hit the hay.

Wishing you a very nice Thanksgiving day. Hope Don is well enough to enjoy a turkey dinner today too. We're supposed to have quite nice weather for the next couple of days and that will be great for those that are having to travel. We're having dinner with our son Tom and wife Mary and their two daughters Rachael and Libby. Mary's parents will be joining us today also. Mary is just a wonderful cook and we always look forward to her delicious meals. We're taking a cake, pie and waldorf salad. It will be a day to be thankful for many blessings.
My heart aches for those in the military that will surely not be celebrating with their loved ones today. When you thnk of the sacrifices they enlisted for (not drafted, but chose to join), without knowing where they might be sent nor how long they might be away from their families, they are indeed to be kept in our prayers today. And, also for their families back home where one chair will be empty because of their brave loved one(s) serving our country. Maybe, just maybe all of them will be home next year. We'll surely pray this is the case. And, yesterday, I was waiting for my appt. in a doctor's office and an elderly gentleman began telling me this would be his first Thanksgiving alone after his wife recently died. My heart was very sad for him. And, I pray that Phylis will be with loved ones today too.
Have a nice day Karol and don't eat too much pumpkin pie. Love Ruth
