Post-Thanksgiving Update

First, Happy Thanksgiving to all!

We Skyped with Brad this morning.  It was great to see his face!

I'm happy to report that he had a full Thanksgiving meal yesterday - turkey, ham (surprised about that given the prohibition on sending pork products via package), stuffing, and a table full of desserts.

He posted on facebook that he spent a lot today building roofs for the huts where he and his fellow soldiers live -- and that it snowed!  Snow in the desert. Yes.  When we talked he said it really just dusted where he is, but the surrounding mountains are capped with snow.  He also elaborated on the need for the roof.  They have flat roofs now -- but are building a slanted roof b/c there can be a lot of snow there in the winter and a flat roof would not be able to hold it.  

Brad sends his love to everyone, and a special "Happy Birthday" to Nana.  

More later.
