American Thanksgiving in Australia & Happy Birthday Jim
One of my "Auditory-Verbal moms" at the Cora Barclay Centre is American.
We were so lucky that she always invites the stranded Americans she knows in Australia to a real Thanksgiving feast with all the trimmings. What a meal! We had two turkeys - one cooked in the oven and one cooked "on the barbie"! Jim and I enjoyed an authenitic family Thanksgiving with this fabulous and fun family.
Jim was actually born on Thursday, Thanksgiving Day in 1953. This year Jim's birthday was not on Thursday, but we celebrated Thanksgiving on Sunday, Nov 26th which was actually his birthday. So, how old Jim is now?

Hi Jim and Lea, Caitlin Sumner from O'Maley School here. Happy Holidays to you both and Happy Birthday Jim. Thank you for sharing the incredible photos and updates of your year abroad. I would love to show my students some of the photos on your blog, particularly the "Remarkable Rocks" and caves on Kangaroo Island. They are incredible and will help to spruce up the weathering and erosion unit. That is if you don't mind... My classroom has an ever growing sand collection and I would love to throw out a shameless plug for southern Australian sand (or anywhere for that matter). I have film cannister size containers of sand from all around the world but none from down under. This falls into the 'can't hurt to ask' category!! Hope you are both well. Your trip is an inspiration to us all at home. Thanks for sharing. Best regards, Caitlin
