Escargot What a brave girl!!! And, I am soooo glad, with Paris in your future, you "think you can eat escargot" - please do w/a lovely glass of white wine and French Bread - ces't magnifique!! Love, Nana
Loved your blog - you are a beautiful person Sarah Carter. There is no easy way is there - to say good-bye - but the wonderful memories and friendships you have made will linger long after you have gone and aren\'t you lucky to have touched and been touched by so many lives. We are the lucky ones, to have you in our lives. We are all waiting with open arms to welcome you home and hopefully, temper some of the sadness of your leaving new friends. Love, Nana
It's about time... ...for you to be coming home! I miss you so much! I've had to go through this whole year with no gripey-sessions at the Carter House (well, actually, poor Mary Emma had to listen to some overflow griping!). CAN'T WAIT to give you a big hug! (:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Dear Sarah -
It is February 12th here but where you are it is February 13th about 5:00 AM. So that means a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you. Enjoy the day and celebrate with your friends.
Love Grandpa
Tay Tay! I can't believe you titled a picture after a Taylor Swift song. Good for you! And good for Flo! She is the coolest. I forgot to ask you about the Turkish baths but I'm glad you got to go get toasty warm. I miss Istanbul! And you!
MERRY CHRISTMAS SARAH CARTER! I am sure you will be celebrating with all the other displaced persons there - Have a wonderful day - was it yesterday??? I love you, Nana
Tajik Contraband Hey, uh, I heard from someone who used to live in a similar country that there's a way around these things... Just saying... The goose flies at midnight.
Dearest Sarah - so happy to see your smiling face - you inspired your students to do so well - it is neat that they got into the spirit of the thing. And, Thanksgiving sounds wonderful - a teaching moment too?? Love you, Nana
Hi there I'm taking a mental break at work to focus on some beauty. I thought of you. You are missed. Audrey named her copper haired doll after you. That speaks volumes. Thank you so much for a way to see how things are going on your side of the world.
Onion goggles I'm totally getting Justus "onion" ogles for Christmas. He's such a cry baby haha. And I totally agree with everything your Ma says. When life slows down send me a couple of recipes...a certain "nephew" misses his Aunt Sarah and wants to eat her food.
Mooooooo Sorry about the title... I couldn't think of a title for my comment. But I wanted to say, what a beautiful entry! For some reason it made a lump come up in my throat. Just a bunch of wandering cows. *sigh*
A record of my adventures and misadventures as an English teacher in Tajikistan--a land so unknown to me and mine that we've tried to tether it to something familiar with the nickname "The Persian Colorado." You know, on account of the mountains. And the Persians.
