We pray everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Lee and I ate at the 'all you can eat' cafeteria. It was a bit expensive but it is one of the best meals of the year. They had lobster, shrimp and a fish bar, none of which Lee or I eat. They did have Turkey with all the trimmings and Virginia Ham and lots of deserts. Unfortunately, I did not see one piece of pumpkin pie. Everything was good.
This is our tree this year. Without any Grandkids around, this is all Lee and I need. These apartments are too small to put up too big a tree. My Christmas trees have been getting smaller every year. It became too much work for me to put up and take down. Lee never liked putting up lights and taking them down. We prefer to concentrate on the kids Christmas at church this year.
We have bought our Christmas for this year. The AFFES store had some adult tricycles with baskets on the back. I wasn't looking for a tricycle, but I wanted something with some gears on it. Gears do not last long here but it is easier to ride into the wind. This is the most corrosive atmosphere in the world. A brand new car or bicycle, will not last more than a few years in the Marshall Islands. Everyone understands that a bike referred to as a "Kwaj bike" is a bicycle that is eaten up by corrosion. The aluminium cart will last a little longer than a regular metal cart. Since there are no cars or pick ups, it is important to have baskets and carts to haul stuff around.

standing art easel with a chalk board & dry erase board to hold the felt board on and it arrived in the mail this week. My pack mule (Lee) is going to love hauling that to the church building Sunday. Sandra and Amy also sent a case of Bibles. Thank you Sandra and Amy. The kids all crowd around the board to watch the story progress and they love it.
Thank you to my beloved pack mule (Lee) who carries everything that is sent to us for the church, usually on his back. Even though Lee is not a preacher, he works outside his box to bring God's word to the people on Gugeegue every week. It has not been easy for him, but he has hung in there and has grown for it. Blessings to all.
