Maria Josephina Prieto Anderson gains US citizenship party!




Hello Wonderful Friends,

Last night was so much fun I thought it blog update worthy so here goes.

Thanks to everyone for coming over and celebrating Jo Anderson's new US citizenship. She now has dual citizenship with the USA and Brazil. Best of all, she can now vote in the USA!

Special thanks to the Bluegrass correspondent, Helen Smith (with husband Peter), for making a 10 hour round trip to join in on the festivities. Kudos to Ana Anderson (did we ever give Ana and Karen titles?) who came down to celebrate with her mom as well.

Guests to the meeting including all of our husbands and a few other friends for lots of Christmas cheer.

Thanks so Micah Barnes for providing the left hand part in all the Christmas carols. He also stayed up and danced with me and Helen. I think we finally went to bed at 3am.

Thanks to David and David for the special music.

  1. It was a wonderful party! I was honored by the presence of so many good friends. Notice , however, that in the video, Joe, my husband, put in his ten-cents worth of praise for his favorite country in the world-- Canada. A little unpatriotic, don't you think?
