Thanksgiving and Birthday 11.26.09

This year we went to a friends house... they had about 28 people there... which made it a lot of fun. We had great food, played games and then ended up playing poker. Nick sat in for Lonnie at the poker table this year, and didn't do to bad. I am very thankful for my friends and family for also having a birthday party for me.. This month I turned 42.. Here are a few pictures of the day.

Tsuboya Pottery Festival 11.21.09

Today Christine and I went on a ITT tour to the Tsuboya Pottery Festival in Naha. I had never been to a pottery store, let alone a pottery festival so I was glad we went. There were many vendors and lots to look at. I ended up buying 5 bowls. It took me forever to decide on what I really wanted.. I love Okinawa, but not really into the "Japanese" look. So I bought some white-ish bowls that I think will go with anything. I also got a bowl with a sunflower on it.. (you know me and sunflowers.. had to get it !) We also got to make some pottery !! I made a bowl and Christine made a cup. I had never done anything like that. It was a lot of fun to work with the pottery wheel and clay and with some help, it came out ok. We pick it up sometime in Dec. for a pottery barn past Naha.. should be fun to try to find it.

Here are some pictures of some pottery and me making a bowl.......

Marine Birthday Ball 11-2-09

Kayleigh went with her friend Harvey to the Marine Ball this past week ( 11-2-09). She had a fun time, although she did say that it was different from the Army Ball that we took her to one year. Here are some pictures that one of her girlfriends took.
