International Thanksgiving

Yesterday I spent a lovely evening hosting four international students from UVa for their first American Thanksgiving: I made them the traditional feast I've been cooking for my family every Thanksgiving for the past almost 30 years now. Thanks to my dear friend Sister Lynda from church, who came up to help me. We lucked out, getting four bright, pleasant, and interesting guests and hopefully four new friends.

From left to right: Kendrick, from Indonesia; Sema, from Turkey; Tianwei, from China; me; Sr. Lynda; and Josh, also from Indonesia.

I'm going to miss this place when it's sold!
