Our Syrian friends braved the 30-turned-into-60-minute journey on snowy roads from their house to ours last night to share a time of games and conversation with us. The Mr. played chess with Ken while the Mrs. helped me finish a 500-piece puzzle and mothered her teething toddler. Our daughters loved coaching their girls in coloring, putting puzzles together and playing Candyland. The Mr. is quite an accomplished baker and he treated us to one of his delicious pizzas. I liked that the Mrs. signed the guest book in both English and Arabic. Their appreciation for the lovely time here was profuse, but I thought we should be the ones thanking them for giving us the greater pleasure.
