Preparations

Today is Thanksgiving, when we celebrate the native Americans bringing corn to the British settlers of this nation. Unfortunately things got a bit confused over tea taxation and the war of independence, but today we forget that!

Preparations are happening apace, with cooking and cleaning going on in several apartments as we get ready for a progressive dinner: appetisers at ours, turkey at Vince and Christine's and dessert at Sagy and Moran's.

After that there's an American football game on tv, and something special happening at Dana and Amir's...



It's a little known fact that the Americans actually brought frozen corn to the settlers...



This is more like it! Amanda's husband Jack is in town, and he knows how to celebrate.



Happy Thanksgiving! (And it's not even 12 o'clock yet...)
