Thanksgiving, like most things, is what you make it. We made it a long work day. Did the usual school thing, taught a group of teachers English in the late afternoon and met with the senior pastor from 6:10 to 7:30 PM. Ended up with some pretty good home made chicken soup. Can any reader equal that for a Thanksgiving day?
The meeting with the senior pastor regarding needed changes at the school was a very positive meeting. He listened, asked appropriate questions and appeared to be thankful for the information and suggestions in spite of the fact that it obviously gave him a major headache. He will take a week or so to work through the mountain of written information I gave him and will get back to us for the next step in all of this.
Tomorrow we are told that a sort of induction/hazing event will take place for all new high school students and teachers. A sort of obstacle course and other ¨surprises¨will be dealt out. Not sure if I am up for this one or not.

Happy Hazing....be sure to take a camera, we cannot wait to see what might be in store for you! Sleep well, you might need it!!
The soup sounded good. The hazing would not excite me. As a matter of fact I stopped the new teacher hazing at Highland the first year I was there. I thought it was demeaning to welcome new teachers to the district by humiliating them in front of all present.
What could be worse than the hazing you got at the hair stylist in Kalona? Keep a sense of humor and we'll all have another good laugh!

We also had chicken for Thanksgiving. Great minds think alike! I made a chicken casserole with stuffing on top and then made green bean casserole with the fried onions on top. Amanda and Austin both ate it. We had ham, jello salad and potatoe salad at my grandma's tonight instead of the big feast with turkey. Pumpkin pie dessert of course was the high light! I think it's the first Thanksgiving ever we didn't have turkey. We will definitely have one when you visit at Christmas!!! We had so much to be thankful for this year.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Love you!
