Well, today is Thanksgiving. It doesn't really feel like Thanksgiving. There was no parade to watch on TV, no rush to get the final cooking done for the party. We are, however, having a Thanksgiving party tomorrow with co-workers at Dilko (even though there's only one other American besides Leyla and I). I made home-made invitations for everyone that were really cute. :)
We are still trying to figure out if we can get a turkey, but more importantly if we will be able to cook it...Regardless of if we get a turkey I'm planning on making some stuffing, salsa, a salad, and probably a pie. If we get a turkey i'll probably be the one to season it and cook it... even though I've never done that before! haha. It'll all turn out great, even if not absolutely perfect. Here's hoping it's a success!
Saturday is Teacher's day here, so my students made me come to class today even though I don't teach them today. They had gotten my co-teacher and I gifts, and one student made a cake and they had coke to drink. It was really fun, and at that moment it did feel like Thanksgiving for a moment because I was very thankful to be here.

I'm waiting for pictures of the party. We missed you, but Dad & I were sick so we didn't get to go to either family's party. Then we did go out shopping a bit yesterday, thinking we felt better and I got sick again last night...GRR... Miss you so much!!!
