- Alissa and Jonathan are coming TOMORROW! I (we) CAN NOT wait! We are trying to make guest preparations like getting our 4th chair back from the custodian, and buying bowls and sheets (we also got a trusty air mattress.) Of course our first real rain is scheduled to start... tomorrow so I'm praying that weather men are wrong over here too.
- On my first bike ride I got a bug in my mouth. On my second bike ride I drove on the VERY street where we took the "bus and bike lane" picture - at night. On my third bike ride I got hit in the face with a moth. On my fourth bike ride I got hit in the face with a bee. On my sixth bike ride it was spitting rain in my face and windy and freezing - at night. I think it's safe to say our bikes have been an overall success thus far.
- The one item we can't find in england (so far) is CHOCOLATE CHIPS. Semi-sweet chocolate morsels are rare here it would seem. We have looked at two groceries and both had only one option sold in TINY bags and expensive. Also, their vanilla extract is the color of apple juice (I poured and poured it on and could still barely taste it.) How are we supposed to make cookie dough under these conditions?!

I'm so glad you'll get to have family visit soon! That should be a great time. (Too bad you won't have cookies! Maybe have them bring some?) Also, the description of your bike rides literally made me lol...well, semi-out loud, since my family is sleeping.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I am glad things seem to be going well over all! Blessings!
I'm really sad you can not make cookie dough. I'll make some today and eat it in your honor. Do you think chocolate chips & vanilla would make it to England if we sent you some? At least you're getting some protein on your bike rides! Love ya, Caryn & Mom
ReplyDeleteSo fun that Alissa & Jonathan are coming! So happy for all of you. Enjoy!
ReplyDeletethey hath not appreciate real strong vanilla flavor and terrible chocolate...although i would venture to think you could make some that would be good with home made chocolate...
ReplyDeleteeverytime people come to visit we have them bring: chocolate chips, brown sugar, and peanut butter. it's a must. glad to find more "old" friends on this side of the pond and in the blog world. :)
