Thanksgiving Prep and a Dad update

Today I worked from home - and finished up about 2:00 P.M.  I'll have to work a couple of hours on Friday - Black Friday.  This is a given when working in the IT department of a retail company. 

After work, Les and I began the preparation for Thanksgiving dinner.  We made homemade applesauce, and apple pie.  That required peeling and coring about 10 pounds of assorted kinds of apples.  We made a cheeseball and sauce for our appetizer meatballs.  Les and I worked together and got everything finished by 5:00!  That's all my food prep for tomorrow.  Les made most of the apple pie - and it looks fabulous!  I can't wait to eat it.

All that early prep was so that we could take Dad to the cemetery tomorrow morning if he wanted to go.  Unfortunately, he isn't feeling well enough.  His side is extremely painful, and he doesn't want to do the morphine patch because it affects his balance.  He says he probably won't make it through Thanksgiving without laying down quite a bit.  He sounds awful - like he doesn't feel well.  Yesterday when I talked to him he started crying.   He hates depending on people to do things for him.  All this is very hard on him physically, and mentally.

Please pray for Dad.
