To the Dingler's Yes we are having an amazing time here! The school is beautiful and it was so great watching our kids interact with them. Yes we do miss our buddies in Jackson and look forward to a night of wings at the Lizard.
Love the Photos The photos are great. What a beautiful birthday cake! What a great looking golf course. Is Doug and David bringing the caddy Hoa home. I need a lot of putting advice. Today we got to 72 degrees and maybe 80 degrees on Friday. Thanks for the blog. We are traveling with you in spirit. Have a great time and keep up the great work.
safe trip Have loved reading the blog and sharing your special memories. Can't wait to see and hear about China. I know you head home soon. Safe Trip. We miss you. What and awesome adventure.
Just reading all that is happening and attempting to visualize every thing that is going on is emotionally exhausting. I can't imagine what the events must be like for you who are actually experiencing all that you write about. Congratulations Abby on the successful culmination of your project and congratulations to those who helped you. We look forward to your safe return and hearing first hand from you of your experiences.
