#88 Teaching at Taizhou Teachers College, China (Another journey to Guilin)

---

Hello everyone. I have been trying to post blogs for a month without success, and hope that perhaps this short note will reach you. Sorry that the captions do not show on the photos from a visit to Guilin in the South of China. I will re-do them once the problems of the Blog are resolved.

I was trying to use this blog to send you Thanksgiving greetings for over 2 weeks now but everytime I log on, I can only log on partially, and usually the photos don't show. So I will click the publish icon before my screen leaves me again and hope these few words reach you. As the problem comes to a resolution, at one point or another, I will fill in the captions of these photos. But they will at least show you that all is well, that I am very happy, but that I always think of you.

I hope you have spent the Thanksgiving holidays together in appreciation of each other. Small things that we do for the other often mean the most, and the efforts will return as our greatest rewards. Though the turkey and all of the delicious trimmings and the family and friends are far away this holiday, their thoughts will always bring a smile to my face.

So I also say "thank you" for all the blessings my family and friends and students have offered me, and the support I have felt and offer my appreciation for knowing you.

I am a better man because of each of you.

Hey Mr. Schneider, I'm sorry I haven't written here in a long time but college is really a change for me! I am so happy to see you are still doing well. I have to say you look quite schnazy! And those pictures are beautiful...I am happy that you get to see all those beautiful vistas. I hope I can see them one day too. America looks like a big ugly blob compared to China. :-D

I was having a spasm because I couldn't find any Schneider blog emails in my mailbox and couldn't find the link. I finally had to ask Sandra if you had posted anything recently and for the link. I miss you Schneider. I started taking German up again and every time I walked into the class I thought about your class and how great it was. I hope everything is well and that you did have a very Happy Thanksgiving.
