Happy Thanksgiving!
Ok, I’m one week early, but yesterday the dorms all celebrated Thanksgiving. I went over to HBR and had a wonderful feast!

We all enjoyed the excellent food. I particularly liked the stuffing, and by the end I was stuffed!

I did save some room for a bit of pie, though…
It was impossible to just pick one type of pie. I had 2 slices – one cherry and one chocolate cream
There were 4 kids in isolation with Swine Flu, and the four of them ate a sad Thanksgiving meal together in the sick room.
There was a lot of leftover food, but it will not go to waste. The boys stored some of the food to eat it later in the week.
There were lots of dishes to be done!
Cleanup took quite a bit of work on everyone’s part. Kari Eaves helped a student scrub the pots and pans. Not only does this student have more pans than usual, but his scrubbing partner is out sick with Swine Flu!

Kari happened to have a birthday today. HBR boys have a special tradition when it comes to birthdays. Kari Eaves is not a boy, but her fiancee Mike Greenhoe (“Greenie”) was an RA there for 4 years, so she is an honorary member of HBR. The boys sang their typical dirge-like version of Happy Birthday, which involves some shouting and table-pounding. Fortunately for her, this birthday dirge did not end up in a Creeking!
After cleaning up and helping a few boys with chemistry homework, Greenie drove me, Kari, and a couple other HBR subs home to Kandern.
