Visitor Mom

My mom has come and gone. I really enjoyed her visit here.
There were a lot of difficulties on her flight here, but once she got to Bern I met her at the train station and it seemed like smooth sailing from there, at least from my perspective.
We went to Lugano on the Wednesday after she arrived and I got to see my great uncle Costanzo and great aunt. then we went to Spormigarre with them. I got to meet a lot of my family that I had only heard about and I got to see where my Nonna and Nonno grew up. It was a lot of fun and very interesting, and I got a lot of good food. Sunday I went home to work on monday and my mom stayed in Spormigarre.
The following weekend I again met my mother in Lugano. This weekend we just stayed with my great aunt and uncle. I really liked visitng Lugano, because it was like visiting my nonno. Costanzo's voice reminds me of my Nonnos, and some of his actions also. They also had such a beautiful garden in November, especially since I was coming from Bern where there was snow.
We also made a Thanksgiving dinner the night before my mother had to leave. Everything we made was vegan. Stephanie joined us and brought ingredients for pumpkin pie, and bean casserole. All of the food was very good and I ate a lot. I found the vegan gravey with the polenta to be extremelly good. We also had a salad, an apple crisp for desert, and a quinoa quice.
Tonight I celebrated my birthday with the neighbor man, Marcus. We used the gemindashause, the commumity house, and had a small party. It was quite enjoyable and I made a large bowl of pumpkin soup. I got my dancing in, which I always enjoy, but I left quite early because I was very tired.
And now I shall sleep
