Yesterday, I was Superwoman. And then Monday happened. And reality set in. And I went back to work for "Meryl". But back to yesterday... It was productive. It was successful. It was full of good fellowship and food. Hard to beat.
Started out with a solid worship time at Heritage. We had a really good group and enjoyed sharing a special communion time in small groups gathered around tables, discussing thoughts of thanksgiving, the life of Jesus, and how we can take our communion time into our dining rooms this week.
The afternoon was pure madness. I dashed around the apartment heating up a turkey, painting furiously to finish Baby Field's giraffe, making a run to Michael's for varnish at the last minute, and getting everything ready to go for the evening. Rachel helped me out by making my fruit salad and helping load the car. Superwoman certainly needs a sidekick.
We were so blessed last night to have 30ish guests at our Thanksgiving Banquet at Heritage. We had invited our friends at the apartment complex we've been involved with down the street, and were so excited to have such a great turnout. Full turkey feast, good conversation, and new friends.
Finished out the evening with a quick trip to the Fieldhouse, where the giraffe is now awaiting the arrival of a sweet little one!
Gretchen... I love it! He's got so much character. :)
