Happy Just-Gone Thanksgiving! I hope you all had a fabulous time and that you had good food and time to relax.
Thanksgiving down here was good. We had my parents, Mik's parents and my sister here in Florida with us and it couldn't have gone better! Everyone got along, had fun and was surprisingly relaxed. I am so glad that we got that out of the way before the wedding! We catered most of the Thanksgiving meal (thank god, given our TINY kitchen) but made roasted onions and potatoes, sweet potato casserole and Mik and his Dad made a slow-roasted lamb. All very good (apologies for those of you offended by the lamb). Friday, we went and toured Vizcaya, which is just gorgeous any way you slice it. After that we headed to the newly reopened Fontainebleau for drinks and then out to Christabelle's Quarter for Mik's birthday. The next day, after eating most of our leftovers whew!, everybody headed home. That left us with Sunday to relax and we even found time to put up our (fake) xmas tree. A good weekend!
What about you all? How were the Thankgiving festivities?
In Xmas/Holiday news, you should all have gotten your Secret Santa draw, let me know if you didn't! Can't wait, love you all!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!!!!
I tried to make sweet potatos and marshmellows like my mom always makes, but they just have purple sweet potatos here and they only had strawberry (pink) marshmellows...so the dish turned out to be rather colorful and interesting. My Brittish friend Chris and I ate pot pies from a convinient store with the marshmellow sweet potatoes and then we went to our Japanese class.
It was nice to have some company. But it was a pretty uneventful Thanksgiving.... Last year my Thanksgiving dinner was a Turkey sandwich from Subway (in Oosaka) and I felt so lucky to be getting subway!
By the way, Nicky, have I mentioned there is another Brittish Nicola who lives in my ken! Isn't that cool? But her nickname is Nick. I'm glad your nickname is not Nick or you couldn't have married Mik. haha.
As for secret Santa, I am going to go ahead and mail mine to my person I think. If whomever got me wants to get free shipping, either mail it to my parents house, or drop it off in person before the 26th of December. I think their flight leaves on the 26th, so before that would be best My parent's address is :
223 Patuxent rd.
Laurel, MD 20707
My address is:
Shokuin Apt. 305
Shinmei cho 4-17-5
Nagai Shi, Yamagata ken 993-0004
Japan
Love you all and wish you joy and happiness!
