If

Hi,

The rain never came, but the clouds cooled the day. Our teeth cleaning was the big event of the day. Tonight, it's Turkey Time.

So far Bruce is the only reader to recognize the 'Song from '91'. It's a good thing he knew, or he'd be in trouble. (Ha) Maybe this verse will rattle your memory: "With the lights out, it's less dangerous. Here we are now, entertain us. I feel stupid and contagious. Here we are now, entertain us..." Clue: A T-shirt, old jeans, and a flannel shirt and we're ready to Rock. The band name is the quest of many. A lot of hours were spent trying to decipher the lyrics to this song when it came out. What did you think it said?

This morning we went back to Overbrook Hospital to have our teeth cleaned. This time we got Dr. Oy, the dentist we wanted. She very nice and very thorough. I have to go back next week to have two tiny cavities filled. She also told me that one of my fillings had 'expired'. That's one I'd never heard before.

This evening we drove out to the country for Thanksgiving dinner. When I say country, I mean a 25 minute drive, mostly on a winding road through the hills and along the river. It was so dark in places that it looked like we were driving into nothingness. The house was beautiful. We got a tour before dinner and it's based on an old Thai house, with many modern touches added. There are also new things that were made to look old, which makes it very unique.
There were 15 of us for dinner, all sitting at a big long table. It really felt like a classic Thanksgiving dinner. There was turkey, two kinds of mashed potatoes, dressing, broccoli, rice, and macaroni and cheese. Oh, and biscuits and home-made dragon fruit jelly. Most of the dinner was made by a young man from the States. He really did a great job. Our friend Caty is house-sitting and set up the dinner. Most of the guests are teachers from America. It will be one of those experiences that will stay in the memory for a long time.

Have a Thrilling Thursday and Happy Thanksgiving (to those in America).

Peace,
Danny

If there is light in the soul,
there will be beauty in the person.

If there is beauty in the person,
there will be harmony in the house.

If there is harmony in the house,
there will be order in the nation.

If there is order in the nation,
there will be Peace in the world.
