Snow!

12-8

So, it’s been a pretty nice past few weeks. We had a lovely Thanksgiving and its starting to turn into winter!

Thanksgiving was certainly different than I’m used to. I hosted the event at my tiny apartment. It was pot luck. We had stuffing, spaghetti, curry with rice, dill pickles, tok poki and many other random things. All of the food was great. We had a GI come, so that’s how we got actual stuffing and ham. We somehow managed to squeeze 16 people into my apartment along with all that food.

It was a very special night. My apartment seemed to be just the right size for all those people. Everyone got along really well, including the 4 Koreans and 3 Canadians that came to celebrate American Thanksgiving. People came over at 5:30 pm and the last ones left at 1:30 am. Only one person had to be carried to the car!

To top off the night, it snowed for the first time this winter. Everyone ran outside to see the first snow fall, took a picture and then ran inside. I, of course, stayed outside and marveled at the fact that it was snowing where I lived.

Thanksgiving has not been the only time it’s snowed. When I woke up this morning it was coming down pretty steady. Everything had a light dusting of snow. By the time I was walking to work, there was about two inches of snow on everything and no tracks on the road. Needless to say, I totally made snow balls and frolicked in the snow.

I am looking forward to this whole snow thing. Tomorrow I told some of my kids that I would wait for them before class so that we could play in the snow. They didn’t believe me that I want to play in the snow!

I hope this finds everyone well. I hope the Christmas season goes well for everyone!
