When we came in for breakfast at 7, the Sisters had another surprise for us...since they had not had a big Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner, they had a turkey in the oven & all the fixings for a complete feast. They had already made pumpkin pie & apple crisp. We cleaned some veges & fruit, set the table and then I went out to help Rog....until the turkey was done. Annie, in the meantime, had given Rog more directions and since the power was out...painting was Job #1. Hermonso, their handyman worked along side us. Monday (today) the clinic is not open so the Sisters did their paper work & jobs they usually do on Saturday. Around noon, I went in to finish up dinner and what a feast we sat down to! We had so much to the thankful for. Just about when the paint job was done, the electricity came on so Rog started Job #2...wood baseboard in the newly built volunteer house. Around 4:30, Sister Liz insisted that we stop working. We cleaned up, watched the News, ate turkey sandwiches & sat around the table just enjoying each other & stories. 7:30, we headed back to our room & heated blankets.
