Two Months of America

by Jimmie on April 30, 2010

Newsflash! April 30 we head for the USA. It will take us about 24 hours, all told, to get to our destination.  As bad as that is, I comfort myself with the thoughts of the pioneers who took the “slow boat to China.” We will spend all of May and June there, visiting family, traveling, and stocking up for the next three years in China.

I don’t know how much internet access we will have.  So I have no idea how much blogging I’ll do during those two months.

Actually, it’s quite possible that the things I would be most excited in May and June about would be quite boring to you.

Imagined blog titles:

1. Ate Mexican Food Five Times This Week

2. My Clothes are New From My Skin Out

3. No One Laughs at how Tall (or “Fat”) I Am When I Shop

4. Didn’t Hear the Word “Foreigner” Shouted Out at Me All Week Long

5. Thrift Store Finds

6. Box Day Times Five

7. Fun Times With Mom

8. Saw Three Movies This Week — in English!

9. Got Drinks and Used an ATM all Without Leaving the Car

10. Did All Our Laundry in One Load

To say we are excited is an understatement. It has been 28 months since we’ve been in USA. It’s time.

Life resumes to “normal” in July.

Wow, lots of excitement for you!! Be careful we just came home (FL) from a visit to N. GA and heard lots about the dangerous weather in TN. Have a blast while you’re here!

Have fun driving a car, buying all your groceries in one place with a debit card. buying clothing without writing or ruffles and getting a good haircut!
