Days 52 - 55 (Thanksgiving Day)

24 - 27 Nov. Well a happy Thanksgiving to one and all. Mine started out quite nicely with a Beanie wake-up call. She still has a little issue with figuring out the time difference. As a matter of fact she tried to call our friends in Hawaii but luckily dialed their California number so no one answered . . . . at 4:30 A.M.!! Her boss, Brian, was able to patchwork something together that allowed Beanie to send out a PowerPoint slide with a couple of pictures embedded. I extracted the pictures and you can see them posted. It looks like the DFAC (or as we used to call it - The Chow Hall) did a pretty nice job of putting out a Thanksgiving dinner spread. I thought the paper mache first Thanksgiving display was a little over the top, but it was nice to see without someone making a politically correct stink about it. She said it would be a little slower day today which would be nice. Of course, by Afghanistan standards a little slower day could be 8 hours instead of 12! All in all I am very thankful this Thanksgiving Day. Thankful to all of you that have been so supportive of Kathy and what she is doing and thankful that she is healthy and doing better every day. The Bean & I wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving and extend our thanks to one and all. Cheers.
