Well, finally, a little bit of time to write some news. Tim is out at the gym, and Eric has taken the other kids up to the park in the good weather. So nice to finally have some good weather! Although we never had near as much rain as we should have this year, it still seemed to me that it was taking forever for the sun to come out. I must say, I have become appreciative of the good weather when we get it, after being away from South Africa for so many years. I grew up and lived on the east coast of Durban, very beautiful, hot and humid place. Waaaaaay too hot sometimes! I have learned to put up with the rain here in the northwest, and the cooler weather does seem to agree with me, but I as I said, I definitely appreciate the sunshine now!
Although nothing is one hundred percent finalised yet, it seems as though my parents may leave on June 18th. My kids are pretty upset. Of course, we are all very sad. My dad has already stopped working at Safeway, and I know there are people missing him already. I went in to get a few things today, and when I went into the produce section, where he used to work, it seemed so strange not to see him there. I just grabbed a watermelon and left the rest of the stuff for another day, it was just too hurtful.
I wish there was something else we could do. We all came over here looking for a better life - and we found it. We have all been so happy here. None of us wants to leave. If anyone wants to make a financial investment on my parents behalf that would help. Legally, if anyone invests into the US economy, they may obtain green cards.
Hey, that could work! In return, my parents would love you, love you, love you. And so would my kids! Any takers?
Oh well! Back to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Haven't given out my blogspot yet, so no readers that I know of, I need to do that soon!
Later,
Maureen.
