After school today, Suzanne and - found this group of very cute girls sliding on the 'ice shoot' that runs from the culvert at the school to the road. They were giggling and beautiful in their long skirts and head scarfs.

Tomorrow they feast not for Thanksgiving, but because Friday is the beginning of their Lent. Our friend and school aide Anna told me, "Just be glad that tomorrow is a holiday otherwise these kids would be bouncing off the walls of this school with all the candy we will be feeding them at home!"

I am thankful for holidays!
