ake pictures of our old house. The high street and area around had changed so much. We had a great visit at Daughter 1’s old school, the American School in London. We visited with the admissions director – the woman that admitted us to the school! Then we saw her kindergarten teachers. Mr. P was so happy to see her and so surprised! His assistant, Mrs. A was equally surprised. We headed out the door to head home to pack before dinner. When we arrived one hour later, I had my surprise from Sir! What a delightful ending to a great trip! I wouldn’t trade the trip for anything. I missed Daughter 2 like crazy, but have loved the time I have spent with Daughter 1. These are memories the two of us will always remember. Check back next week when I am in another state – I still won’t be home!
