Simon's to wash. She immediately took over the washing process (ringer washer). When I was hanging the clothes, she came right behind me to hang them properly. I still watch the way I hang clothes, a lesson learned well.<br />love you againAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02506586023450009526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8324844381587715946.post-26589728384912729732009-08-23T09:58:40.750-07:002009-08-23T09:58:40.750-07:00Wow!! What beautiful things you are seeing, and al...Wow!! What beautiful things you are seeing, and allowing us to see them along with you. Love the birds, so colorful and different from ours.<br /><br />We are having an early fall season. It is cool, highs in the 70's, and wonderful. May not last, but really nice weather. Most of the veggies are gone, but it has not been a good season. The cool nights that we had mid summer stopped most blooming, and the rain, and humidity was not good for anything. My friends who have gardens have not had much produce. I have had enough, and have given away a lot in my baskets, but not the yield I thought. I love fall, but the downside is that winter is right around the corner. I'm hoping that your spring is coming, and it is not so cool for you.<br /><br />You sounded a bit down, but I know you are homesick, as I am homesick for you. Hopefully you will fit in soon, and not miss home so much. We are all rooting for you!<br /><br />You remember how Kim cried for months when Michael left ? Remember when she was blue when Kara left? Now she sounds thrilled that all have left, and she is an empty nester. She called Friday from Lexington, laughing and sounding very up. They had taken a load for both girls, and the truck had broken down. She was laughing as she followed the truck being hauled in for repairs, and said she was going shopping while it was being fixed!!But then in a few days things will be back to normal, and I am sure she will miss them.<br /><br />We are all sharing your news, and everyone is enjoying your letters. I know it is hard for you to write at times, so we will cherish what you can write. The sisters at the Mount are in love with you and ask for every word you send. Mom says she reads and rereads them, and most friends say they feel like they are there with you, as your letters are so descriptive, and heartwarming.<br /><br />D has been talking with me about coming to visit you next summer. I hope you understand, but I am sure we would not be able to come for health reasons. Also we really do not have the money. Deanna offered to pay one of the tickets. But we cannot do that. Not that we wouldn't like to come to see you!!<br /><br />Remember how much you are loved, and what an experience this is. Everyone sends their love, even those who do not know you.<br /><br />I sure wish I had more interesting things from Kentucky. Our lives are the same ole, same ole. (but we love it)<br /><br />And we MISS you.<br /><br />love you so much<br />MomAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02506586023450009526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8324844381587715946.post-14317920946035726332009-08-20T17:49:40.254-07:002009-08-20T17:49:40.254-07:00Hello Molebeong!
It is so good to hear from you...Hello Molebeong! <br /><br />It is so good to hear from you. Just when I think I can't miss you more, you send word. Letter #3 came today and I will answer and get answers for you from those you ask about. I will make copies for your Mom and Sister. It is a real pleasure to see your handwriting again. I will share that with those who wish it. Will my letters forward to your new station? <br /><br />The cicadas are still here and I think of you each time I hear them. There was a cedar in the graveyard tonite that was stuffed with them and we stopped respectfully to listen. There are some now outside the window. <br /><br />You MUST get pictures of your family! We want to see them and as much of the dwelling you share with them as decorum allows. Also, don't forget the little girl who stole your heart! Pictures of the bugs in the loo would be appreciated as well. You know who would not be happy to share that space, however.<br /><br />Sorry about the stamps...I suggested that to whomever sent them although some may have done it on their own. <br /><br />Thank you so much for the lovely, long post. We will all greedily read and re-read it as well. We are all starved for news from you more than you can imagine. You will get a full report from the homefront by snail mail. We are plugged-in here at the house now so I will be stalking the net more often for news from you. <br /><br />Keep your beautiful chin up. It is clear that you have had a rough week. They will be few and far between, I bet! You are so brave. Our own hometown Ambassador. Louisville! Alaska! Africa! The World! Our prayers and love are with you always. <br /><br />Deannadeannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06859160117149012787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8324844381587715946.post-53568926470349687432009-08-20T09:36:55.855-07:002009-08-20T09:36:55.855-07:00I won't send you USA Stamps, but you can do me...I won't send you USA Stamps, but you can do me a favor. Both the grandsons (Manabu and Kenta) collect stamps and so does my mother. I did when I was a kid and still have my collection (somewhere). I always loved the ones from foreign countries because they were always so much more colorful than ours.<br /><br />If you see any that are realy unique (of course just being from South Africa is unique) would you pick some up for the boys? I will send money however you want. You don't have to go to the trouble of mailing them. You can send them home when you send other things to your Mom and she can get them to us.<br /><br />We miss you, but of course, just like when you were in Alaska, we are havig a great time living vicariously through your stories and descriptions! Keep them coming.<br /><br />Love, Aunt Susie and Uncle LarrySusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10895562888759084371noreply@blogger.com
