Thanksgiving in Kuwait







Thanksgiving at Camp Virginia was acceptable. I miss my family and friends a lot, but the weather was cool and crisp and our DFac really did it up with abundant and delicious food. They also displayed many beautiful carvings made from fruits, vegetables, ice and butter. One fruit bouquet had something bizarre and curious sticking out of it. The sculpture made so many people double-take and laugh that the DFac officers finally took it out.

At the USO we had a "Quarterback Challenge," then snacked on chips and dips and watched football from about 20:30 until the wee hours of the morning.

For the past six or seven years we have spent Thankgiving with Toby and the Zelens at Martha's home in Woodland Hills. Sadly, Martha passed away a couple of weeks ago. I'm sending gratitude and healing prayers to the Zelens and Martha's family during this very difficult holiday season.
