November of Thanksgiving 2010

Tom is taking the day off so that we can (hopefully) get the house buttoned up for winter. We've been slow to finish the storm windows because the weather has been so beautiful. We'e been able to leave the windows open, but one of these days, we know it's going to get cold and snowy. We've waited too long to put the storm windows up in the past and had to quickly install them without washing the windows. I don't relish a whole winter of looking through dirty windows.
So I'm thankful today for time and pleasant weather to get our chores finished. I'll also be thankful when it's all done!
Thanksgiving is a good thing. Sharing your thanksgiving thoughts with others is a good thing. I hope you'll join in with me and others in this November of Thanksgiving!

That's a great hymn to wake up to! Many years ago, my husband and I were going through a very difficult time. Everything we touched seemed to turn to sawdust. I remember rocking our newborn with that second verse going through my head: "Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing." I thank God for "the right Man on our side, the Man of God's own choosing."
The whole getting ready for winter was such a foreign concept growing up in southern California. I understand it a lot better since we moved to Washington but we are still a few notches below you in the need to prepare. We unscrew our hoses so they don't freeze and burst the pipes and we put our patio furniture away. Some people put studded tires on their vehicles. :0)
I'm glad you have a helper and a good day to get ready!
Hmmm...I should probably wash windows this weekend, too. I look out of dirty ones all the time, such a shame when I don't have to!
