Happy TURKEY DAY!


We wanted to say hope everyone enjoys Thanksgiving in America! We are so very sad to not be sitting at our families' tables for the holiday. We are going to try and replicate an American Thanksgiving dinner this weekend for some of our friends here. So many people here have asked us "what really is Thanksgiving, what do you do for it?". Funny. We said "well, everyone gets together with their family and stuffs themselves with turkey and sweet potatoe casserole (followed by the question: what is a casserole?) and then we take a nap and then we throw the football in the front yard or the boys go hunting". I have never had to explain Thanksgiving but it sort of is a strange holiday.

This picture is a beautiful example of a turkey sent to me by my friend Barry, who lives in Jacksonville, Florida.
