Happy Thanksgiving to you! The above is, I believe "Thanksgiving Day" in Thai. At least that's what a few people told me today when I tried to explain this American holiday.:)
Our team plus a few guests met at Tom and Candice's for a wonderful, delicious Thanksgiving meal tonight. I left my apartment around 12:00 noon to go to the store and buy ingredients to make pumpkin pie, then took a taxi directly to the Masts.
As I was wheeling my cart around the store, I was struck with the amount of fish sauce they stock. They have one side of an aisle designated for fish sauce, and the other side of the aisle has other sorts of sauces, including lots of soy sauce.
I thought you might enjoy a close-up of the picture on one kind of fish sauce.:)
Once at the Masts, I proceeded to make my pumpkin pies, using a recipe that Mom gave me over the phone last night. YUUMMMMM! It turned out really good, MOM! Thanks a bunch!
We ate around 5:00; here's the gang!
After supper, some people worked....
...and some people played....:)
...including Claire and me.:)
We also had a time of praise and worship with Carol playing guitar, Skip playing banjo (?), and Ben playing guitar. We also sang a Spanish song in honor of Raul. Well, most people sang; I didn't, not knowing Spanish.
It was really a wonderful evening. Happy Thanksgiving to you! As of the writing of this blog, your Thanksgiving Day is still in the morning hours.
