Yesterday was a very full day. Everyone in the meeting stayed after Sunday morning meeting for a potluck. They are the same here as every other place in the world; there was too much food, but we ate as much as we could. I learned that blueberries grow very, very well here. That should bring joy to our little family. We are huge blueberry fans and will still be able to fill the freezer up with frozen blueberries every summer if we are diligent. The blueberries are way cheaper in the supermarkets here, too. It may be that they just happen to be in season, but I count this whole blueberry thing as a huge positive because we thought we were going to have to go through serious withdrawal due to our acute blueberry addiction.
One of the huge advantages of working for my previous company was that the sodas in the soda machine only cost 25 cents. For a programmer, that is huge. You cannot image how delighted I was when I found that there is no soda machine at my new job. There is only a refrigerator, but it is full of a bunch of different kinds of soda and they are all FREE!
We are almost to the point now where we are going to commit to rent a house for six months or a year while we sell our house in Oregon and decide whether to build a new house or buy one that is already built. It is a tough decision, but I think it will be best in the end. Hopefully, I will get back to Oregon in the next week or two to either get the family or just visit for a few days.
WOOOOOOOo!!!!! The highlight of the week ladies and gentlemen: FREE soda!!!!!! That is awesome dad!!!!! Can I have one? The blueberries are awesome too. 🙂
Ken, Sounds like you are ‘fittin-in’ just fine. We, Dave, Florence Woods, from Indiana, and I had lunch today with your Mom and Dad at Baha Fresh. Your Dad treated so we relaxed and enjoyed it all. Your little family was to come around two or three so we headed home. Tonight Darian is playing a double-header at the school so we may head over that way for a bit to see how they do. Florence leaves early in the morning so we are feeling sad!
We are wondering where you go to Meeting Sunday AM?? The name of the folks?? Stanley and Kathy Dalton are related to Fred and Florence. (Kathy is their niece)
We are trying to find photos of your family but so far, have not been able to see any except one of you and one of your wife and one of your cat. Where are the kids?
Loved checking in on you.
Dave & Glad
But is there free tea?

Glad,
We are definitely fitting in. I have been going to Tom McGrath’s house for Sunday morning meeting. His wife is from Panama and speaks Spanish as a first language. Lorena is going to love her.
Ann,
As for the tea. In you honor, I have taken up drinking the truly awesome Diet Lipton Green Tea they have in the frig!
Dad doesn’t like to do photos a whole lot. I think it is dangerous or someething. You will have to talk to him about it! 🙂
