This week has been a little stressful. And the blog has born the brunt of the damage.
But now that the craziness has subsided, it is time to catch up.
Here it goes! Our week in pictures.
Three Thanksgivings
The 24th came with classes and a regular old day for David. He was, however, able to come home to study with the Macy’s Parade on mute in the background. Meanwhile, I was cooking something up.
We were able to talk for more than 3 hours with family and hear David’s brother announce the great news that he is engaged!

Then, on Friday night, we went to the King’s castle for an after-Thanksgiving feast with our wonderful friends (who just also happen to be neighbors). Thank you Natalie and Jade King for hosting!
Finally, on Sunday evening, 30 people crammed into the Durham home for a feast packed with thanks, good times and a real turkey made by the talented Stephanie Scurlock.
The previous Thanksgiving meals has chickens as their cheap centerpieces. These little turkey birds are pretty pricey here (Think $40 for 6 Lbs.)
P.S. We all chipped in for the turkey.
A Giggle-Filled Girls Night
While the boys were studying for the Test-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named (Pathology), the girls got together for some old fashioned fun.
We rolled our hair up into curlers, put on pink lipstick and talked about girly stuff until odd hours of the night. It was an estrogen fest for the ages.
OH the Kids!
I have been called as a teacher for the primary children (4-8 years old) in our small church branch. Sunday, the children donned dish towels and pillow cases to pretend they were in a Nativity Scene. I am pretty lucky to be working with such cute (and well-behaved) kids.
La Sagesse
I went to another beach this Saturday. Big news, eh? But this was no “other” beach. It’s shores jut up to a line of resort and jungle as it curves into a dark, sandy cove. Now this was a beach! So glad I went. We spent the morning boogie boarding on the unusually high waves and eating lunch on the beach.
And then, there was this guy …
Who somehow made it into our apartment and scurried into the shower. Don’t worry, we caught him in a jar and gawked a little before setting him free.
Hope you all had a great week!
Less than 100 hours before we land in the USA!
