A Thanksgiving Dinner

This past Thursday (Thanksgiving back home) was just another day for us -- work, school and German class. Today was our Thanksgiving Day.

My good friend Kathy invited us over to her house for dinner and we had a lovely time. It felt quite homey to be with another American family and see familiar American things around the house.

For the first time, we got to see a Slingbox system -- where you are able to watch your local TV from the States on a computer screen here in Germany. With the time difference, you use a DVR to record your shows. This is the first time the kids have seen Cartoon Network in a year and half.

I told Kathy all about my car accident from the day before. As I was leaving the mall area, a woman ran a stop sign and we collided. And Kathy told us about her car accident from the day before. She hit two wild boars that ran into the street. My story paled in comparison.

It so did NOT pale in comparison! You had to deal with real Germans on the scene. All I had to do was check the bumper for a carcas!
