Tuesday evening I went to the American Legion for a brief discussion by Matthew Tungett, First Class Midshipman, on his experiences at the Naval Academy. 

Wednesday I took Amber to Mechanicsburg for agility practice.  It was pretty windy despite temperatures about 50.  The wind chill made it feel pretty cold.  Lisa recorded virtual runs to send to a judge but mine won't be forwarded because they were bad.  

I went to Mass for Thanksgiving and brought some items for the food pantry.  I was able to bring home the November memorial candle with Nancy's name on it from our November Remembrance Chapel.  I made a low calorie pumpkin pie without the crust.  I also bought a homemade mince pie from Humphry's Market that was pretty good. 

Alan brought the turkey this time.  I often complained about leftovers being wasted long afterward and my sons did not take some home.  I wanted something small to avoid that.  In addition, we were also worried about food shortages and my freezer was full so I asked Alan to bring the turkey.

A little prayer before our meal and a round of something that we are thankful for during the past year.

Amber was intimidated by the visiting dogs especially Cosmo. He's a little bit rough.  Amber played at first but then when Cosmo got too rough, she hid by me and was shivering.   During our meal I put her in the kennel.  Still Amber shivered.  I'd been trying to teach Cosmo some manners which I think Sean should be doing.  That dog is 6 months old now and I warned him that events start allowing dogs to title at 1.  It doesn't just happen on their birthday.  Then I put on my fox fur hat to give my dogs a walk and that big hat scared Cosmo.   I thought it was funny having the shoe on the other foot.  I do regret that the 28 degrees with 18 MPH was too cold for a traditional family dog walk that I look forward to.

Sunday I participated in the 28th annual Sid Wood Toy Run

 

I went through my friends list on Facebook and unfriended some that are gone and those that had a COVID or mask related profile photo.

 
 Now can I listen to Christmas music
