"We Gather Together..."

It has been a busy week at California Kitchen in preparation for the Thanksgiving Feast. There was much anticipation on the part of the gringo community, as well as the Evans Family. Shopping for the event began on Monday.

In addition to the Evans' preparation, there was work to be done for the Angel Tree. An Angel Tree for CORFRA was going to be displayed at the festivities. Those who wanted to participate would take an angel containing the name of an orphan. The person will then provide Christmas for that child. Angie designed and made the angel tree.
Henry's help was needed for communication to the director to make sure every child was included.

The Grimms and the Reeds

It was a wonderful event. The food was outstanding, consisting of turkey and the trimmings, leg of lamb, pork, green bean casserole, and much, much more. The meal was a little taste of our previous lives, bringing back, many memories. Carol, George, Jim, and Susie, thank you so very much!

The participants were generous and donations were made to CORFRA. The angels were "adopted" and it was a wonderful day. In the true sense of the holiday, we were all very thankful for the day. We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday.

Until next time,

Mick and Kathy
