Christmas, November 2011

We have had a steady stream of visitors from the United States and Europe. Currently Lars Halstead, neurosurgeon from Sweden has returned. We had a group over for an early Christmas Holiday supper the other night. Fikru explained to Lars the ins and outs of an artist's life in Addis, and Wendu, Gro, and Barbara and I enjoyed the conversation. Gro Hotvedt is a Norwegian nurse anesthetist who has been here for several assignments, with return to Norway later this month. She has been a dear friend, and we will miss her greatly.

Pastor Song invited us to the annual Christmas Program at Bingham School where his children attend along with Dr. Lee's children. It was a fine performance and added greatly to the holiday spirit.

We will leave December 10 for Orlando, to be with our family for Christmas.
