A story for LEO Weekly that started out as a piece about what three refugee families are having for Thanksgiving dinner turned into a story about their lives and what they are thankful for, because I really couldn't write it any other way.
Our newest neighbors blend new and old traditions for Thanksgiving
BY ROBIN GARR
If you really want to see the spirit of Thanksgiving, try viewing it through the eyes of our most-recently arrived neighbors. When you’re thankfully celebrating a new home, but holding memories of the old one, there’s nothing that says “thanks” any better than having both roast turkey and ropa vieja, or crispy falafel, on the table.
