We are so very thankful for God, who He is, His love, and His faithfulness. We're thankful that He can do what we can't do. We're thankful that He is wise enough to make the best choices in all circumstances. We're thankful that He sent His only Son to a dark, cruel, weary, dirty world.
We are very thankful for you!
Here Seth is at our Thanksgiving dinner. It was a mixture of cultures like much of our lives. We found a six-pound chicken! We had ham. Green beans and corn are not everyday items here. So we had them for Thanksgiving. We had a Ukrainian treat that Allona and Vova love, shuba. Shuba is made from chopped fish, grated beets, potatoes, onions, carrots and mayonaise. Katrina brought ham rolls and macaroni and cheese. Ham rolls were part of Thanksgiving traditions in her family. Macaroni and cheese is another American staple that is not too easy to come up with here. We had lettuce salad with all the trimmings. Lettuce is only found in the bigger supermarkets at $3 for a small head. We had jello salad, mashed potatoes (eaten heavily in both countries!!) and gravy. For dessert we had "pumpkin" pie, made from butternut squash and two types of cake. Homemade rolls are part of Thanksgiving for my family.
