FROM THANKSGIVING TO CHRISTMAS

Yesterday we celebrated Thanksgiving with Nancy's two grandsons. One, Brad, made an apple pie and his favorite dish, macaroni and cheese. Nancy cooked a ham because Cliff's heritage turkeys that were the original goal for Thanksgiving still need some weight on their bodies so they are now scheduled for Christmas. We had German green beans, and candied sweet potatoes along with the apple pie and I had bought some chocolate iced brownies on the markdown rack at Walmart.

Tonight Bobbe and Yvonne came for a glass of wine and some leftovers. The candied sweet potatoes became sweet potatoe pie. We then went to downtown Granbury for their annual Christmas parade. Sponsored by the alliance of churches, this year's theme was Jesus Christ- Celebrate the Gift. They had some unique floats. The Baptists and First United Methodists had floats. A unique one was the Roller Derby float preceded by women on roller skates skating around the float. Minature horse driven carts. A number of Christian themed floats. The parade was led by the Granbury marching band that had three red flags in front. Of course the last one was Santa on a firetruck. It was the first parade that I have seen that did not have an American flag in the parade. Of course the theme was Jesus so that figures.

The parade started with my theme "Let there be light" and the string of lights from every corner of the court house came on. I have decided to try to write my tome on God creating light that was used to form all matter and publish it on Amazon. That may be a couple of months, or years from now. We will see. I still can't post on my creation blog from this computer but I am working on that problem.
