The goose is cooked

October 30th, 2013 · 3 Comments · Uncategorized

Some of our graduate students took us out to a goose-soup dinner this week:Goose soup

One of the “special” parts of this meal is to eat the goose head:Goose Heads

Even though Susan looks hesitant, she joined in once she got a figured out where to start:Goose Head

The food is always a bit more familiar at home.  Here are some students about to enjoy homemade cookies and cake at our apartment:Homemade snacks

We finally got living room furniture for our new apartment (hurray!) and had some students over to play games.  Here we are playing “Qwirkle” (thanks Dixie!):Quirkle

It is the end of the school semester for my senior class students.  We will miss these kids:Students Fall 2013

In preparation for our year-end auction, we took some of the kids shopping to help us identify things that Chinese students enjoy, like these hand muffs:Warm hands

The auction is a fun way to end the year, allowing students to practice business principles while spending “small money” that they earn for class participation:Auction Cookies

Click these links to see brief clips of the action: AuctionAction and ChickenAuction .  As winter approaches, this student was really excited to get a new scarf:Wander and Scarf

As parting gifts, these girls were sweet to give us two plants for our new apartment:Students and Plants

    Mom looks exactly like the other 2 girls in the hand warmer picture. Haha, and I like the gloves you wear when you eat. We need those for eating bbq 😉

    The gloves are helpful to keep you from getting goose guts on your hands.

    Yes, easy to see why Susan’s hair color and size sure helps her fit-in over there. Not coincidence as we know. 🙂 Goose head—–wow.
