Thursday was our first Thanksgiving in our new home. It seemed funny because it was not a holiday and I had to go to work and then come home and fix the dinner. We had 8 people for dinner,...Our good friends, Dasa and Jiri and their son Jachyme, Eva and her daughter Lada and my new "boss" and the head of our department, Olga. We had to get two turkey's because they were small, but we had all of the trimmings and ate ourselves silly. It was really a nice meal and one of the great American traditions that I think we will keep and continue to practices. It really is interesting that it is a holiday that really isn't based on religion or patriotism,...just getting together and giving thanks. And that is what we did!! Of course we also did not have the mad shopping day on Friday either,...but that tradition I can live without.
Next weekend we are going to a lodge in the Jesinek Mountains (mountains just North of us) with our friends from Ostrava to do a Christmas retreat. It is suppose to be for families and they invited us to come along as their "family". More details in the next blog.
Ken is all packed and we are making the final arrangements for our trip to the states. It will be good to see family and friends,...that and a good supply of fiction in English is what I truly miss. Hope to see as many of you as possible in about a month.
