Thanksgiving makes us homesick. We try to keep busy that weekend with memorable things. We were invited to a potluck Thanksgiving feast at the Calton’s house Thursday night—Duck Dynasty themed. James and John dressed up. I made two jello salads and a pecan pie. All of the food was delicious, and it was fun to be with close friends.
The next day John and I went on an overnight retreat with his Ford department. They loaded up two huge buses and drove to a location about 3 hours away called Tian Mu Lake. It was beautiful and had amazing hot springs. I enjoyed the ones with Chinese herbs the best. Sunday after church we had another Thanksgiving feast at the Johnsons (our family in Shanghai), and again the food was delicious!
