Thanksgiving Dinner in Doha

The Thanksgiving weekend in N.B.--Paul and Jenn and little Anna will be visiting with Dave. I think he probably has his pork roast in the oven as we speak! But think not that I have been left out of Thanksgiving just because I happen to be in Doha. CJ and Donna and Kathy B. invited everyone to a potluck dinner at the new apartment building Umm Bab, in West Bay. They cooked the turkey and everyone else brought the rest. My apple pie was a hit! The new apartments are quite luxurious, with lovely furnishings and finishes. Everyone is quite happy after their move from the Regency apartments. The meal was so good--just like home with mashed potatoes and gravy, squash, carrots, sweet potatoes, and lots and lots of desserts.

The dessert table. It filled up more than this as the evening progressed.

Some of the gang in Donna's apartment across the hall from C. J. The party filled the two apartments.

Alice, Carolyn, Brooke and Eric in the hallway between the two apartments. Eric has been car pooling with me this semester. He puts the seat back as far as it will go but still has his knees up under his chin!

Not much for left-overs! What a bunch of gorbies!
