Last night was the Thanksgiving dinner with the international people. We ended up with 17 people total. It was a tight fit in the kitchen but it worked. We assembled a buffet line and we had tons of food. We had turkey, veggies with dip, rolls, mashed potatoes and gravy, greenbean casserole, stuffing, two pumpkin pies, and one apple pie. Plus, the couple from Russia brought Russian chocolates which I couldn't eat but they looked good! The cleanup wasn't too bad at then end of the night either. Thank goodness for the dishwasher!
Tomorrow morning we will be heading to Rochester for Thanksgiving. We're coming back on Friday evening. I'm looking forward to seeing my niece and nephews and getting a lot of pictures of them to post for everyone. =) I'm also looking forward to stuffing myself silly with yummy food.
Some sad news. I have 8 bosses at work and this morning one of them passed away. He developed some health problems a couple months ago and hadn't been in to work since. A couple Fridays ago our department went to his house to rake up his leaves. He came out to thank us and even though he was much thinner he seemed well. We got word on Monday that he was being moved into a Hospice so even though he wasn't doing well I really didn't expect him to pass away so soon. I worked with him a lot on projects and even though he smelled of strong coffee I did enjoy his humor. =) My thoughts are with his family and the upcoming holidays. He leaves a wife, children, and grandchildren. I am hoping to make it to his funeral on Saturday.
Sorry to end on such a sad note. I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!
