Gobble, Gobble!

Happy Thanksgiving to all. I am very thankful for many things this year. Ok. Here they are:

I am thankful to be where I am and to be doing what I am doing.

I am thankful for the things that I have, even though I can probably carry all of my belongings in a backpack….

I am thankful that Iceland Air did not lose me.

I am thankful for a new beginning.

I am thankful for all of the wonderful Northern French people who welcomed me.

I am thankful for my loving family and my fabulous friends who send me love and packages from afar.

I am thankful for all of the other Dunkerque assistants. We are a good group.

I am thankful that I have not one, but two beds! That is a lot to be thankful for.

I am thankful that I have a job and I get paid to speak my native language.

I am thankful for a change of luck.

I had my 6eme and 5eme students make hand turkeys as a lesson. They loved it. I loved it. Here’s a good one. They were all good though. How can you resist the charm of a hand turkey? And does anyone actually know what that hang-y thing is called?

As much as I wish I were home right now, napping after a good turkey dinner, I am very happy to be where I am. I will make my own Thanksgiving and be thankful for all of the other times that I have celebrated with my family. Except all I want right now is some of my Dad’s deliciously good sausage/sage stuffing and some canned cranberry sauce. You know, the kind that looks like a can after you’ve taken it out? 

Send some leftovers please?
