Heeeeey we want a Paaar tay!!
When Sasha was here, I thought it would be a good chance to throw a party… so we did! I made my ‘famous’ Cincinnati chill (ok - I got the receipe from my friend Joe so its not MY chilli) and invited some folks over that I’ve made mostly through church… along with a couple random.
Look how happy they all look to be tryin’ the chilli. heehee Almost all were from the US… but very different areas… California, North Carolina, Colorado, New Jersey, Texas… many more. So some had never had the Cincinnati style (for those of you who don’t know, it’s bean-less chilli on top of pasta)
And I know you are going to look at this picture and say, “What kind of party was this?!” heehee
But really… this was just an innocent game of Cranium. One part of the game is a bit like sharades where you have to act something out and Heidi did a VERY good impression of a mermaid! haha
Here the gang playin’ the game:
… and more action shots…
The game could even be played by those who’s first language is NOT English… in fact, Simone did very well - her team won!!
Just a side note… I do have a DVD player which is right now serving also as my CD player… works wonderfully actually! Mostly I use the TV for CDs as I only get two English channels… well three really. All of them are crap though just nothing that you would want to see ALL THE TIME (CNN, MTV and Real Life movie channel).
Some people had a really REALLY good time. Dave had a hard time saying goodbye…. heehee
I’m excited to get back from Christmas already to hang out with my new friends!! God, AGAIN, is totally blessing me with some REAL cool people here…. I guess I need to quit being so surprised by that… I seem to meet the BEST people on this planet… wherever it is that I might be!!
