Thanksgiving 2012

Matt & Julieta brought in family and friends for a most delightful Thanksgiving dinner!!!
Matt drove up to Charlotte to scoop up Rocio & me from the home of Paras & Shivani Mehta. We’d scheduled this well in advance, and Paras & Shivani were fine with me leaving my Chariot at their home while I was gone. The arrangement worked out quite well, as Rocio & I reached Charlotte without stepping onto anyone else’s Thanksgiving plans. It was also really fun to introduce Rocio to some fellow Latin ladies: Julieta & Marina, her sister, in town for Thanksgiving.

Hanging out with them for two nights was truly a fabulous thirtysomething family-of-friends experience!!

Thank You, Matt, Julieta & Family!!!

A diverse and delightful Thanksgiving dinner was spearhead by Matt Heller, and we all head twice as much food as we needed-- each bite of which was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!

Olivia, their 5-year-old black lab, is wonderfully friendly at all times, yet ESPECIALLY friendly when there's any food around. ;)
