The school has their HUGE fundraiser coming up October 19 and 20. I have been calling families looking for volunteers to help at the "Jack and Jill Mini Golf" booth. It seems like we will be working long hours on Saturday because I couldn't line up any volunteers. We did buy a raffle ticket, the first price is a new car! I would love to win that.
I was helping Tony and the music teacher Monday mornings and reading tests to coded students but found out I am not allowed to. Apparently immigration looks at it that I am doing a job the school could pay a Bermudian to do. Immigration is very strict here so the admin team will write a letter asking permission for me to volunteer in the school.
We have been hosting Dan Osborne, he gave a two day PD on diploma exams. He and Tony went to 11 beaches in 3 days. Dan loved going on the scooter with Tony. He really loved snorkelling and taking in all the sights. He leaves tomorrow but plans to bring his family here one day.
We met up with friends Saturday night. We all walked along Clearwater Beach in the moonlight and saw a bright shooting star - it was brilliant! I spoke to mom, Debbie, Lee and Dan Saturday night after our Skype attempt failed. I loved talking to everyone. Much later Dan and I were able to Skype until the wee hours of the morning.
Tony and I Skyped with his family tonight as everyone was gathered for Thanksgiving. I missed two dinners this year but people ate all my favourite dishes for me! Tony and the Canadian teachers are making Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow for their fellow teachers, Bermuda doesn't have Thanksgiving.
I will post more pictures that I took well Dan was here and I took a picture of a whistling frog. They are very cute and about the size of my thumb nail. How the heck something so tiny makes so much noise is beyond me! I still have trouble sleeping because of their noise lol. If you ever call Tony's phone you can hear them in the background. Even the locals ask me what the noise is. I think it is exceptionally loud hear because we are surrounded by open spaces.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

sounds like your staying busy, and out of trouble. I miss you and Graysons getting big, we wish that we could have you two over for a 3rd turkey dinner. As it was our first dinner as a family and it would have been nice. I am excited that things are going the way you want and your living your dream. I constantly post pictures cause I have a photo addiction!!! lol We went swimming and took grayson to the pool for the first time, it was exciting, the best part is stephen being blind and I dont have to blind fold him for the surprise. He has talked highly of you. Wishes we got together more often.
