LOL - being over here has certainly taught me not to take the small pleasures for granted.
Whenever I go on vacation, I'm like a kid in a candy store the first few days. Simply amazed and elated that I'm free to go wherever I want, buy whatever I want, eat whatever I want, etc. Traffic jams don't bother me anymore. While I used to hate grocery shopping, I now find a trip to a US supermarket great fun. HAHAHA
I am so sorry that you have to put up with petty complaining that we do...
I cannot imagine how much it must be difficult it is for you guys over there...
I am so grateful for the news that you bring us...thank you.
Do you need more socks??
Keep your head down Allegra. You're in my prayers.
