Gobble Gobble Season

We're already gobbling and celebrating Thanksgiving at my church. Yesterday, we enjoyed a wonderful service with a lovely sermon from Sharon E. and seasonal hymns that I love. My favorite for this time of year is "Come Ye Thankful People, Come." which I always call "Harvest Home." Was glad it was included. 

After service we all sat down to an amazing pot luck lunch--turkey, ham, dressing, and oodles of other delicious dishes. I came home stuffed and in pain, so I spent the rest of the day in bed with the kitties, Taco and Bella. I got a lot of reading done.

I just got word from a friend that another of or bee sisters has passed. That's the fourth member we've lost since we've been holding meetings. Mary S. was a very talented and giving friend. Aside from a seamstress and quilter, she was a fine musician and a faithful follower of Jesus. Many years ago she spent time in Ukraine doing missionary work. She will be missed by many.

My niece India (left) and our friend Doris, with their amazing soprano voices, gave us beautiful solos during the choir's anthem at church service yesterday.

After service, we enjoyed a pot luck lunch--turkey and dressing and all the trimmings. It was delicious. That's me, second from the left, about to dive in. (We are a small congregation at Leeds Presbyterian, as you can see. This is the majority of us.)

Quilt bee sister and friend, second from left pictured with her daughters) passed away last week. She will be missed.
