Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! We won't be making a big turkey dinner this year, there is both good and bad in that. Good, because I don't have to spend the entire day cooking and cleaning! Bad, because we will miss having all that yummy food! We are going to a Thanksgiving Dinner that Boeing is holding at the Hilton Hotel in the evening. It promises to be a great meal, and I don't have to clean up!

One reason we won't be celebrating is that it is obviously not a holiday here in Japan and Eric has to work and the kids have school. The second reason is that they don't have turkeys in Japan. We would have to order it from the foreign buyers club. The cost of a 12# turkey is about $45, and 20# turkey is about $75!!!! Can you imagine? There is no turkey worth that much money! I will make some pies and have a chicken with mashed potatoes that weekend.

We will be missing you all and missing our day of celebrating that we usually have with Kevin and Tammy and other family members when possible. Eat some turkey for us!
