Chapter 23 Pictures!!!

Break Time! My kids have enjoyed drawing my portrait lately...they are all such wonderful artists--I think their depictions are quite accurate!


Can you see the resemblance?

Happy Birthday Grannie Goose!!! You're the BEST and I just love you! I don't know what I'd do without my cute, little Louie!




Thanksgiving in Taiwan
November 28, 2008

Because all of us teachers had to work on Thanksgiving Day, we decided to celebrate the holiday on Saturday. Our sister school, BerHan, invited us over for the Feast! There were nearly 25 of us. We had a great time eating, cooking, eating, playing Wii, eating, dancing, eating, and chatting.
{for more commentary, read below}

Thanksgiving Dress-up! So we didn't arrive as Pilgrims and Indians...we went in our Asian attire instead! {pictured: Hanna Postma, Sarah Lilly, Tabbi Perkins, Tanier Glauser}

The Changhua girls with Penny and Emily (our secretaries)...they've never been to a Thanksgiving feast before, so we brought them along to join in the fun!

Cooking time...and here you see our little Martha Stewart's and Betty Crocker's! Good work team!

Sunny preparing the Ham, among other things....he was slaving away all day! Thanks Sunny...you're the BEST! Everything tasted divine!

The Grandmas {Grandma T squared}...me and my little Tipster!

On top of the roof in Feng Yuan at BerHan Language School. Some of the group before dinner...talk about a beautiful sunset.

Set up...we had a lovely dinner outside. Notice the doors, which are holding our food! Haha, we make do here in the Orient.

Oh the delectable dessert table!

Dinner is served....it was a little dark at this point. We weren't exactly sure what we were picking up to eat, but all the food tasted great!

A Thanksgiving toast! {Hanna and I}

Lisa even made us name plates...so fun!

Laughs around the dinner table.

Tabbi feeding Penny pumpkin pie for the very first time....will she like it???

...and the answer is, a BIG FAT NO! Disgusting. Emily's description, "interesting." On the other hand, it's one of my favorites! YUMMY!

Sarah getting the 'after' party started.

Teaching Penny how to shimmy....now that was a knee slapper.

Teaching Penny the shimmy...1st attempt: seriously, I could not stop laughing...

and this is why...

2nd attempt: We finally got 'er done!!! Penny was so fun to dance with!
