'Twas Thanksgiving Day......

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our friends and family! We are thankful for all of you and miss you very much. An American nurse at the hospital has invited us to a Thanksgiving dinner at her house Saturday night, so looking forward to that.

And we are especially thankful that Sharon Tang is flying in from Hong Kong in just a few hours to visit us for a week. Sharon became part of our family in 1990 when she came to live with us as a 16 year old foreign exchange student. She graduated from high school in 1992 and then moved with us from Harrisonburg, VA to Knoxville, TN to attend the University of TN. Four years later Sharon was a graduate and a registered nurse, but was unable to get a visa to work in the US. She's been working as a nurse in Hong Kong since then and we haven't seen her in 12 years!

We are saddened about the tragic loss of life of 29 miners this week in NZ. We have a trip planned in December to the South Island and will be in the town for a night where the accident happened (Greymouth).
