Well, it's raining... it's been raining for a week or so. The locals are 
laughing and telling us to get used to it.  It's not that it rains all the 
time.  It just rains 2, 3, or 4 times a day.  The weather changes here 
quickly.  The other day, I started walking to the store when it was 
sunny and 20 minutes later it was pouring rain and thundering.  
That is not an unusual occurrence.  We ARE getting a good bit of 
school done!

The Kind Act of the Month award goes to the Heinzelmann family.  
They sent us a care package of junk food and English magazines for 
the kids.  Graham and Michelle have devoured both.  I hadn't eaten a 
twinky in at least 10 years....

Since my last note, our neighbor, Jenna, has visited us.  We had a 
great time.  Jenna is the nice young lady you see in our pictures of 
Paris, The Grottoes (Belgium), and of the Buckeyes (Netherlands) 
Tomorrow, Lee Ann's mother and a friend, B.G., come to visit.  She's 
bringing books, toys (for presents), and clothes.

                         Let's make this quick: 
I'm getting over a cold.
Lee Ann is working a lot of hours.
I'm helping out with the youth at church.
Michelle is attending a local gymnastics class.
Graham bought a Jeu de boules set (we always called it Boccia ball).
We went to the Chinese circus, very fun.

see ya,
Lynn
