I thought of you this week. The head of our city hall went to Greece on vacation. There was a picture in the paper of her with the mayor of Korinth, she brought him little trinkets from Iowa and he gave her some from Korinth.
It makes me smile to read the progress you are making. I think slow and steady is probably the best way to go. Most of us wish for the romantic sweeping gestures we see in the movies but I wonder how often those actually happen in real life...
I would love to snuggle up to someone in bed at night besides my kids...
I hope you are enjoying this time off of work. I am sure your kids love being out of school!
