Blessings

I was so happy to find real rye bread at the grocery store last week. It`s delicious especially used for grilled cheese sandwiches:



I found a bilingual Catholic church down here in the town next to ours and so we attend mass whenever we can. Sometimes I go alone and sometimes I take the kids. Lately the kids have been asking to come with me because they love to go up to the front at the end of mass to receive a blessing from the priest. He is a really nice man and always comes over to say hello after the service. I`ll miss him when he retires next year:



Tomorrow we will attend our first Christmas party of the season at the home of one of my friends here on Okinawa. I`m off to purchase a gift for the "secret santa" game. I figure something from The Body Shop will go over well. I also have to make my yummy dill dip for a veggie platter I`m bringing.

So that`s 3 blessings in one week! Pretty good, I`d say!

Ja ne.
