Stillwater MN - Thanksgiving in the midwest

Margie and Jimbo hosted not only family and friends but the Mac guys and their friends for a great Thanksgiving Day. 

Japan - Taka sends an update

Taka is alive and well and working his plan back home.
Taka and I got caught up this week and things are well in his world.  Like everyone else in the world he has had an interesting couple years.  Back with his family in North-Kyusyu.  Sounds like things are settling in to a good place again and he has a new road map and plan...may even include seeing his friends in the US once again.
He included a couple shots from life back home.  And threw in a few memories of Christmas with the Cashman's a few years back...

Saint Paul MN - Back in MN, cold but ready for another party!

Continuing the Sue Ross "cold turkey sandwich party" I participated in the for the first time in the late 70s we once again gathered those that were around town and up for an evening of food, conversation and whatever else may happen.  And no turkey - another lasagna evening. 
The Mac guys arrived and not only enjoying the Thanksgiving weekend but we were having a send off for Dawit for his next big adventure in Ethiopia.
Davide and Danny are regulars and Petar took time to check scope the place.  Anna, after her week East, had enough but partied on.
And we tried to get further clarification on the new "Sex Talk with Susie" segment on the radio...what good can come from this...ha!
We had a good crowd and by lighting a fire we more than over heated the house - Greg took his hot flashes to the front porch where he easily heated it back up to a comfortable temperature for Millie and Eric to join him.  
Lots of people moving the camera around tonight - so lots of moments captured...
