My first words of the day were ''Uggggh.'' Literally! I was woken up at 7:30 (ish) and not because of my alarm, but because of my mom! You see, today was the day my mom, brother and I would go to help the homeless! Every year we go down to a church near us and serve food to those homeless in the area! We have done this for the past 3 years, and each year I look forward to this even more! Usually my Nana and Papa come help us, but this year we wanted a quiet holiday with just my family instead of having company!
While serving food, I saw my old 3'rd grade teacher, and one of my friends. Brittany! I laughed so hard when I saw her, because I hadn't seen her since school! (Which was a week ago!) This year was even more packed then usual, and thankfully this place doesnt turn down volunteers, because if they did we might have been told to leave! We had to stop serving around 11:30, because the kitchen ran out of ham and turkey! But, thankfully we couldn't turn anybody down because there was still vegies, potatos, and cranberries, pineapples, stuffing, pie, and bagels! Afterword we cleaned up and got ready to leave. My mom, brother, and I then said goodbye to my past teacher and left.
Quickly we went over to my mom's friends home to pick up our turkey. (Which had been frying while we were serving.) We socialized for about 20 minutes and then left.
When we arrived home we quickly cooked our food and dug in around 3:00! When my dad was cutting the turkey, guess what we found? It turned out the people who fried our turkey only took out one bag! (I dont know what was in the bag so..) And they left the 2'nd one in! So we took it out and continued cutting, but making sure that there wasnt a third bag of unknown stuff! At 3:30, I was stuffed! I had so much food! But, I saved room for the cake, which was delicious!
I am thankful for so much right now!
Have a great day, and a very happy Thanksgiving!
God bless,
Love,
