We celebrated Thanksgiving at the home of Joel and Rachel. Mark and Aimee joined the gathering by phone from Phoenix. We here in Mason City play "Fictionary" with a set of 1890's dictionaries. Kirk joined in the game from Texas. Burton laughed so hard he was crying.
November 9, l0, ll.
Kristallnacht 1938. Martin Luther's birthday, 1483. Armistice Day, 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month 1918 (Now Veteran's Day).
Reflection, Reformation, Remembrance!
Nov. 6 usually means frost and even snow. However, on my birthday yesterday, Nov. 6, the grass was still green and the temperature high enough for me to sit on our deck. I give thanks for the sun, for my sons, and for my husband. Joel even brought over a small cake and mini-pie with birthday candles that don't go out. I laughed and laughed and laughed and they kept relighting themselves. And I received in the mail my "little red book," date book for 2024. Good sign I may live another year.
Today we commemorate All Saints Day.
"For all the saints who from their labors rest
Who thee by faith before the world confessed.
Thy name, O Jesus, be forever blest.
Alleluia! Alleluia!"
