blessings

Hello,

At 8:00 last night, Leroy and I had been home for about six hours. All travel things were put away and Leroy was upstairs doing who knows what in the office, while I was putting away the odd item in the kitchen. Bang, bang, bang. “What is Leroy doing?” I wondered.

Bang, bang, bang. “That is closer. Someone must be at the door,” I thought. In the porch light the Ukrainian pastor could be seen with a rather large bag in his arms.

“Tomorrow we aren’t having the Thanksgiving meal at the church,” he said handing me the bag, “so I brought you some food. We are sorry that we will not be able to be there.”

The bag contained a large round tray that held a bit less than half a Slovak looking cake, almost a foot long two to three inch in diameter sausage, and a bowl filled with cabbage rolls. Unexpected blessings pressed down and running over!

This season will be a tempting one as from the small church Leroy brought home cream puffs the size of a half dollar. I have great resistance skills in the store, but none at all when it is in the house. Sigh!

Also on the food front, Brian sent home some delicious squash soup. What a vacation! Tomorrow meal preparation will start again.

The desktop picture on the computer is a picture of the four little girls in the bathtub. Three noses, five eyes, five ears, four heads seen mostly from the top, eight arms, eight legs, and some of four torsos are visible. Group pictures of the under three crowd are not a simple affair. It is especially true when there are other more interesting things to be doing than looking up at a camera.
