Happy Thanksgiving, a little late

Hi everyone!

I hope you all had wonderful Thanksgivings. I had kind of a normal day yesterday, but I just finished eating a delicious Thanksgiving meal with fellow EDUCO students. It feels good to be American, with a belly full of stuffing and cranberries and sweet potatoes and mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie. I miss my family at home a lot right now, especially because Aunt Kathy, Uncle Larry, Grandma and Grandpa (and their brand-new puppy!) are all there, but the celebration with my friends tonight was really fun. I brought my mama's cornbread (huge hit), three types of homemade cranberry sauce (also hits) and candied sweet potatoes (hit). Of course I was three hours late from making all of this -- I was on time for one meeting today, so clearly I had to be outrageously late for another event for the universe to fall back into order. Now I am packing to go to the Loire Valley tomorrow, home of all the chateaux. I'll take lots of pictures, and maybe one day I'll get around to recapping all of my trips and posting photos for all of you to see. Maybe.

Ciao!

MK
