Interesting adventures!! Jesse, thanks for the current blog...love reading about your life in China and you adventures, job, etc. Your boxes are safely sitting in our dry basement, waiting for their next adventure! Take care and keep us posted!
And a Happy New Year to you, Jessi!! Thanks, Jessi, for sharing your fun-filled month!! I enjoyed hearing about your activities, especially the Christmas program?!
Hope you had a Merry Christmas, in spite of many events, and my wishes for a wonderful 2014 to you!
yuck! As you can imagine, I can truly empathize. However, I simply can't in my mind's eye, what that was about in China. I remember once doing "Christmas Carol" on a very small stage....I mean small.....where my kids had never been before. We had practiced in a large room.....All everyone did was pump into each other. And, of course, Christmas in the future's grey sheet fell off onto the floor. Anyway. So it goes.....A Happy New Year, Jessi. Be anxious to see you in February. Love ya, Grandma
Nice place Hi Jessi, glad you have a nice apartment and so close to work!! I am so happy that you are having the time of your life and seeing SO much! Good for you! We had a busy Thanksgiving...my brother with wife and camper came for a week and a day and Tim was here too (leaves Tuesday). Weather is warm and sunny, more like Indian Summer than December. Of course it was cold and snowy while Bill was here!! In the teens at night. (He is from Oregon and not used to cold!) Not much other news...we just go day to day with work, church and village commitments.
Take care of yourself...love the blogs!
Love,
Joyce
As you know your great grandpa (my dad) was in WWII....Anyway, he rode camels while in the war, probably in Sicily and he used to laugh because he said they do spit!.....I guess several caught the camel\'s \'throat clearing\' action several times.....Guess it didn\'t smell too good........Anyway, keep those blogs coming. I enjoy. Love ya, Grandma
enjoying your blog, but no sympathy from me about your heat! Will it ever stop being 100 degrees in SA? Loooking forward to your dad\\\'s visit next month. He wants me to watch the Broncos clobber the Cowboys! Love, Gamps
happiness You sound delightfully happy! I'm so very happy for you. NEVER has there been a boring spot in your life since you were, what, around 18 maybe? Whatever, you are something. By the way, your cousins would love to get your blogs....katie and sara....Jenny, I haven't seen. Sara's baby is due anytime now, making me a great grandmother....ah me.....Didn't send you an invitation to my 80th birthday party on the 24th...Figured you might not come...:) Anyway, just wanted to say hi and I love you......Grandma
Acronyms Disney is almost as bad as the military when it comes to acronyms. I forget, sometimes, that I'm even using a shortened version!!! Common ones that I use are:
FT - Foreign Trainer/Teacher
LP - Learning Partner
SFT - Senior Foreign Trainer (my new position)
LLD - Language Learning Director (he's the new kid in town these days!)
RLLD - Regional Language Learning Director
CM - Center Manager
had to chuckle: In Malta, they never heard of the dog, maltese(which Daisy was) In Italy, when invented, they never heard of pizza....Now, China and its far-eastern cures....huh?.....And as the expression goes, \'this too shall pass\'.....You\'re on the right path....I do meditate and feel strongly that Zen folks do too.....:).....says so in fine print. love ya....grandma
