We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I invited my students in teacher training (Norwegians students who will be specially trained in teaching English), two colleagues, three American students from Oregon State, and an American au pair, whom I met at a concert. Irene, who is standing in the black v-neck, sang Simple Gifts (her voice is beautiful, and I got a bit teary listening to my favorite hymn). She brought her two young children, who spoke little English. Walter asked how to say "hide and seek" in Norwegian, and they all had a wonderful time hiding and searching throughout the apartment.
This is a photo of Jan Erik, whom I am teaching with this semester, at the table, where we had turkey, stuffing, pie, applesauce, etc. He and Irene are great colleagues, warm, funny, and sharp.
