Almost home

I can't believe my time is coming to an end again. But that is one thing we can always count on, right, time passes. This trip has been so eye-opening.

There is still snow on the ground. Some days it still snows but the days the sun is out the tops layers melt. Those of you that don't live in snow areas might not know this so let me explain. The top melts but then re-freezes at night. That means ice and slippery paths. The path is very treacherous. I have fallen 3 times THIS WEEK and this week is not quite over. Luckily, I learned a long time ago to laugh at all my embarrassing moments. Wed night, Ilya dropped me off and the car was full of people. Janet wanted to wait and see if I got to the door ok. Of course, that would be one of the times I fall. She so nicely rolls down the window and yells to see if I was ok. My rear was not as injured as my pride. hahahahaha Then Thursday night I was walking to the bus with a group of people that live in my neighborhood. Luckily one of them was walking close enough I could grab onto him so I didn't fall on the way down. But I made quite an entertaining show with my arms flying about and my feet slipping over and over. When I finally pulled it all together everyone was laughing (including me) and one of them shouted AGAIN! and another said For the camera. Ugh. hahahaha. Actually, a lot of people are falling. I see at least one a day. It is so so slippery. Today is nice and sunny so there is a little more slush than the past few days. Spring is coming, ever so slowly. I am only wearing one shirt under my giant coat. :-)

There are more teams coming so we are super busy and it takes everything in me to get Joseph to finish his school. I get called the mean teacher be/c I am "torturing" him to read so many pages. Luckily I was raised by a woman that knew being the bad guy is part of being an adult. So, I don't mind being the bad guy so much. I know that in the end he will appreciate not having work, he just doesn't know it yet. hahahaha THANKS MOM! :-)

I will be seein y'all in a couple of weeks.
