A Year in Germany

well a little OVER a year… ‘cause I’m always late

I’ve made my second turkey for my second Thanksgiving in Germany, which means I’ve been here just over a year and my, how time flies!

Thanksgiving

and other German (or not) happenings

All the Germans on post are very kind.  Every last one wished us a happy Thanksgiving last week even though it’s not something they celebrate.  My favorite was the man I spoke to to come fix our dryer!  He said “haf a heppy… uhhhh… tanksgiffing? Ja.”  Loved it!  That’s why I think every German person who says their English is not so good, or they only speak a little bit, is full of it!  Try hearing my German!  I’m still trying to master “may I have” cause it’s full of all these forward facing vowels… ARG!”
