Thanksgiving Day

Hello from Colombia on Thanksgiving day,
Kathy and Maria are back home in Michigan so it is just Felipe, Luke and I. Felipe missed his mom a bit the first morning after she left and stuck right by me all day but he seems to understand that it tis only temporary and we will be flying on an airplane to Michigan soon. All the american ladies here are fighting for space in the kitchen to make thier favorite Thanksgiving dishes for dinner tonight. I'm not going to try to get in there to make mashed rutabega or sweet potatoe with marshmallows though, I'll have to settle for making it when I get home. I'm not even sure you can get marshmallows in Colombia. The American men are all looking forward to watching football this afternoon, they stream it over the internet and tie up all the bandwidth. For most people in Colombia though Football means soccer and they were very happy on Tuesday when Colombia beat Argentina in the qualifing tournanment leading up to the world cup. Everybody in the airport was riveted to the game and if something exciting happened they would all rush to the nearest TV including all the workers so the check in lines were realy backing up. We watch a bit of soccer here because there are at least three sports channels that show only soccer. The staff at the residencia hauled all of the Felize Navidad decorations out of the attic today and are busy getting the building ready for the holidays with all of the children helping it is very busy here this morning and everyone is in a good mood.
Happy holidays to all. Love Dwight and boys.
