Thanksgiving.....truly



In honor of our favorite American holiday Mark and I hosted 22 people over to our house on Saturday the 24th, early afternoon....friends from work, italian school, and friends of family...in all, there were 10 countries represented under our roof: italia, USA, france, slovakia, england, scotland (controversial), columbia, netherlands, south korea, and australia. Most of the italians showed up late, but said it was the best turkey they ever had....reason for being late, "why are they eating so early, we'll show up at 5." All USA folks were happy to dip in on an old, but loved tradition (all 4 of us). The french, they showed up early, brought half the dinner table, and left before dessert. Slovakia represented in true fashion with a bottle of something i can't pronounce and a proof that will kill a cold virus in seconds (im living proof). England and Scotland, technically from the same country, but one saying gibberish you can't understand half the time, and the other, content under all circumstances. Columbia didn't make any food to bring, but brought plenty of food made by her suocera (mother-in-law), and lost the flag off her wine glass 2x by the end of the evening. The Netherlands, some of the nicest people you'll ever meet, but confused....."we're dutch, live in holland, but the country is the Netherlands." South Korea, glad to be here and Australia made some mean green salad. Under our roof, we're thankful that the world is at peace and laughing together.
