ThanksGiving

What is this? After 2 1/2 years I have bought a rice cooker! It comes with a steaming rack so I'll have to experiment to see if it will warm or cook anything while the rice is cooking below. I opened my Christmas present to myself early to make a ThanksGiving meal on Saturday. A10# frozen turkey cost $30 here.

We are full of thanks. Grateful. resting, reading, and creating things. Ward is working on a Christmas poem and I am making porcelain pottery.


This photo is us with four children from the 34th African Children's Choir. These four girls and their teacher stayed with us for a night after performing a concert at our church on November 10th. They are from Uganda and Kenya and have been traveling for 14 months in the States and UK. They sing and dance and tour and raise money that supports over 3000 children in African schools. This experience demonstrated what love can do for a child and how infectious that love is. Uncle Ward and Auntie Marda were very much loved by these happy, thankful, and talented girls. We loved it all.

Last bit.

Today is American Thanksgiving and we got our first snowfall of the season here in Belfast.
