Late report on Thanksgiving
This is the Thanksgiving table I ate at. I called it the “neverending dosterhon”(dosterhon=table in Uzbek). We had chicken, mashed potatoes, salad, stuffing, pumpkin pie, and passed around a very SMALL dish of cranberry sauce (which we don’t have here). There were about 40 people, including about 20 kids! Mostly Americans, but a few non-Americans as well. Mostly families, but some singles as well! We listened to the Thanksgiving story (which I had forgotten/or never knew), sang some old-school songs, and then played some fun games, including Scrabble and Dutch Blitz (aka Snertz). By the way, Dutch Blitz is an awesome game that everyone should play. And FU-GED-DABOUT playing this game with regular cards, which most people do – you gotta get the Dutch cards! Awesome.
Finally, I’m thankful (besides family, friends, health)….
that this world is not all there is
for coffee
for the ability to enjoy delicious food
for times when someone says something exactly when you need to hear it
that prayer can change hearts, not just situations
for digital cameras
