The hosting restaurant banquet room was lovely. They separated tables of eight into four
with clear, plexi-glass dividers. Each
table enjoyed a basket of soft bread and crispy, pita-like bread.
The Area Presidency and their wives joined our celebration. We began with small copper serving bowls of
cooked pumpkin, green beans, broccoli, and cranberry sauce.
The turkey (not pictured) was cooked to perfection. We enjoyed our large portion for two
additional meals. The turkey was its own
course.
We missed our family but these fine people provided nice
substitutes. The meal didn’t represent
the feast we create at home, but we enjoyed the Hong Kong version and felt
comfort our families were enjoying the holiday in an altered fashion, due to
Covid.
The restaurant menu didn’t include pie. We all prepared one for the monthly birthday
party on Friday, the day after Thanksgiving.
Wow! Each one tasted superb. Thanks for the crust recipe, MaryAnne.

The security officer at the Church Office Building dons his Santa hat.
I’m thrilled with the appearance of these repurposed
bells. The oversized tree ornament was
given new life within the bell.
Aha! The lovely tree
gladdens my heart whenever I pass it.
Fresh poinsettias fill the building and the city. This plant inspires my holiday spirit whenever seen.
The entry nativity display causes people to stop and
look. We invite all to enter. I especially encourage children to come and
touch the figures. All seem to show
reverence for what this represents.
