Beautiful Feet: November 19, 2015

Our Thanksgiving. We were so excited the day had finally arrived that we would be having the Nance family for dinner. We walked Wicket and did some morning cooking then I picked up Cesar to go to Mario's for a study. We decided it would be good just to visit and talk mostly for a change. He said it sure had been hard trying to live with his injury. He said he had been very active and hard working and then suddenly unable to do anything. He is supposed to have another surgery next September and after that try not to move his leg at all while it heals so it will be at least about a year from now before he can work again. It is so hard to know what to say to someone in such a situation when you are in good health and have never been through anything like that. We did have a short study at the end and a prayer of encouragement. After I dropped of Cesar I went to have the car washed and vacuumed so that it would be nice for picking up the Nances. When I got home I helped Charlotte with the cooking all I could and did some house cleaning. She said she could pick them up and I could take them home for she had done about all she could do until the final preparations before eating. Hector called about 4 and said they were ready to be picked up and she headed out. I walked up to the hardware store to see if the landlord was working to talk to him about the house. We had decided to ask if he would let us rent the house we are now in and the one next to us for $300/month for both. That one is $150 and this one $200 and we thought if he would put in the garage and we could get both we would have a pretty big house and could just stay here for the long haul. We would still not have water in the kitchen but we thought we could put a table in there for Charlotte to rinse hands and dishes and place them in a container until I took them out to be washed. He was not in so I headed on back home and worked on a blog until Charlotte returned with the Nances. We had a great visit except that Charlotte had to spend too much time in the kitchen finishing up the meal and it got really hot in there. Suzie asked if we were going to do anything special for Thanksgiving and we said you all are it. At about 9 I took them back over. As we left it was starting to rain but fortunately it wasn't too hard and had stopped by the time we got to Apaneca.
