Here we are almost to Christmas, and I still haven't posted what I wrote about Thanksgiving. I was sick for a while and then just busy. Here is what I wrote a while ago:
After Asya and I got back from Kherson, I had a really busy week of working on my to do list--details for an upcoming Christmas trip to Poland, Sunday school planning, Capernaum club, and more.
Then on Saturday (December 6) we were planning to have our family Thanksgiving a little late, after a winter Capernaum club meeting. I had prepared food most of the day before. Power outages reached the point of more off than on, which is my personal limit for when they start to seem hard, but I tried to work around them. We had a wonderful club, even without electricity. Towards the end I started to feel like I had a fever, though, so I hurried off as soon as I could and went to bed. The rest of our family pulled together all the food--what I had already made and their own additions, too--our guest came, and I joined everyone at the table. We had a very good meal, talked about what we are thankful for, and enjoyed being together in the candlelight.
(Apparently this is a second Thanksgiving with especially heavy outages. Not to mention the Thanksgiving when we were evacuated from Kherson after several weeks without having electricity at all.)
