What a cold wet miserable day today. Cold rain just above the freezing point. I have to take Sparky out in it and his coat would get soaked. Each time, I had to hang his coat with a clothes pin on the shelf over the washer and dry off his feet and belly. He is short so he get wet underneath.
I went to Bible Study this morning and then over to the Eccumentical Center to help sort the food for the food pantry. We had lots of donations come in from scouts and schools having a food drive. They prepared 33 turkeys for needy families along with canned goods of sweet potatoes, white potatoes, stove top, cranberry sauce and various veges.
Home to a lunch of corn chowder and another walk for Sparky and then off to the Acme Super Market for a few things. I got some turkey thighs as I am going to my nephews and I like having some turkey through the weekend. I also got a ham that I like. It is sliced and is topped with pineapple. I can only find them a holiday time. I priced them when I was at Safeway but they were $29.00. The Acme had them for under $20.00. I got some sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce and turkey stove top stuffing. It's not as good as homemade stuffing but a whole turkey is too much for me and it's hard to fit a whole turkey in my freezer.
I had baked a ham slice the other day so I had a piece of that with sweet potatoes for dinner.
I went to the Chesapeake City Eccumentical Assoc. Thanksgiving Service at the Presbyterian Church. My pastor, Pastor Mark gave the sermon and had asked Tina to gather some people to sing. Tina, Diane and I were the only ones who showed up to sing. We sang Come Ye Thankful People Come but it was on the program as the opening hymn. We decided to sing the first two verses and have the congragation join us for the last two. Tina gave us copies of the hymn but Diane and I preferred to use the hymnal. Tina's copies had different words so she was singing a different version then we were. We had not practice it and I made a couple mistakes but the people didn't seem to notice.
I thought it was a poor turnout for having six churches as members of the Eccumentical Assoc. I guess the weather kept some people from coming out. The church was on the north side of the canal and many people don't like crossing the bridge in bad weather as it started to change to mixed rain and snow when I came out of the Acme.
