Many of the people here that know a little English get excited to speak with me, so that they can practice and that I can say, "Great job!"
While shopping today, a young shop worked heard me talking to Carissa and said...
"You speak English?"
"Yes."
"Where are you from?" (Most English speakers here are from England."
"The United States."
"What city?"
"Seattle."
(Okay ... 2 hour North of Seattle ... but I'm sure he would have never heard of our little farming town.)
"Seattle? ... Is it really true that it rains every day in Seattle?"
I couldn't believe it! Too funny!
If you've never been to Washington ... it is a BEAUTIFUL state with LOTS of sunshine in the summer.
Welcome to Our Journey of Faith. My blog is a place where I share the joys and trials of living a faith-filled life as the mother of an extra large (12 children) homeschooling family, and my prayer is that it brings encouragement to others to live their lives as an adventure of faith, as well.

Yeah - especially this past week the weather has been just horrible! It's rained every day! You really never want to move here - it's just ugly and cold all the time! :)
ReplyDeleteWe never tell anyone about all of the sunshine we really enjoy. Want to keep it simple around here.
