Annie (7 yrs): "School." So glad that she chose this one because: This is her second year of school, and her first year was only half day, with half of that spoken in Chinese. Her Scottish counterparts are now into their third year of full time school. We have our school work cut out for us.
Simon (9): "All the people." He could make friends with anyone, of any gender, race, creed, or species.
Calvin (10): "My Bedroom." Due to luck and good negotiation skills, he got the bedroom all the kids wanted. It's orange, with a great view of the church and mission home.
Preston (13): "The sweet shop" He gets to leave school during breaks and lunch and there is a candy shop close by. It is a new favorite, especially the toffee bonbons.
Lindsey (34): "Running along the canal." It is literally a quarter mile from our home. Jogging East gives me a perfect 2.5 mile roundtrip run, and I get to see riverboats, kayakers, dogs and ducks.
Ryan (36): "The rain-stained stone buildings." Yes, there are lots of those.
We all love the Scottish accents, the shortbread cookies, singing in the rain, hot chocolate, and our new friend Lia (short for Liahona), our GPS unit that gets us from point A to point B, though usually not in the most direct route.
When you turn it on in the car, it reads "Drive Like a Local."
There is noooo way that I'm drivin like a local, unless they also chant, "Stay on the left side! Stay on the left side!"
That's the best name EVER for a GPS. Wonder what Lehi would think of our gadgets.
ReplyDeleteMy hubs can't get enough of those tunnock carmel wafers, but they are never as fresh here as the yummy ones we got there. I love your GPS name. WE left ours on Brittsh English and her name is Fiona ("Fioner").
ReplyDeleteHalf the gals I meet are named Fiona!
