One year older, one year wiser?

If you notice in the “about me” section on the side of the page, I am now listed as being 38 years old. Today is my birthday. On the way to pick Bean up from school the other day, Ganny and I were talking and she made the comment that she is too old to move to a new country. I just laughed and said- I think I am too old also. At 38, I am pretty set in my ways. My good old American ways that is. I am pretty set that driving on the right side of the street is the way it should be done. American food is what I like to eat and living in Ohio for my entire life means that there are four distinct weather seasons. And I love that. I love fall, I love spring, I love summer and I can tolerate the winter because I know it will not last forever. But no, not in England, oh nooo. In England there are two seasons– cold and rainy and colder and rainier. As much as I have loved the travel and what we have experienced here, I am glad that our stay in England is temporary. I can live with temporary. But I also can’t wait to get back “home”. England gave me a birthday present today. It is even colder than it has been for weeks. Thanks England, just what I wanted for my birthday in the middle of June.
