Hello All,
I am finally back after my big move. I sure have missed you all. I don't think I will ever be able to catch up with all the posts I missed. I'm sure going to try though.
I have been off line since I left Spain on Oct. 4th. I just got internet today. I feel like I am back in the real world again.
We are getting settled in Maine and I love living stateside again. There are many things that I missed and I didn't realize it. The weather is very different and it is an adjustment but I am getting used to it.
In between unpacking I will be trying to catch up here. It sure is good to be back!

I've missed your smiling face! Welcome back to the good ol' USA!!! Hope to hear more from you soon.
My husband and I are building a new house, so we will be packing and moving soon (in 4 weeks.) I dread the moving part, but am looking forward to my new house!

JANEY, WE MISSED YOU SO MUCH!!!!! I'm DELIGHTED to see you back! WAH-HOOOO! And, Girl, you could not have picked a more scenic state to move to. I'm an old Mainer from a hundred years ago, so I know what I'm talkin' about. I'm envious of you and Casey.
Damn, Girl, it seems you've been gone a LIFETIME! Wow! So tell us, what specific things did you "miss and didn't realize it"? I really wanna know. Inquiring minds wanna know. TALK TO US!
Gee, it feels like an old buddy has returned home, seeing your smiling face again! It's a nice warm feeling. I like it.
{{{{Hugs}}}}}

Now you will be able to post during regular times unlike when you were in Spain! Weren't you on when most of us were sleeping and then you were sleeping when we were on line?
Maine is sooo pretty. I'm sure you'll love it!

Good memory Lisa. Yes, while in Spain I was 6 hours ahead of the east coast. I always felt like I was missing something.
Maine is beautiful and I love it already, snow and all.

Thanks! I don't know about the wit and wisdom but I will sure try. It will take me awhile to get caught up and I can't wait to dig in.

You are so sweet! What a great welcome back. I feel like I am coming home and it feels good. I have missed you all.
Things I missed but didn't know it until I had them again:
- Being in the same time zone as my family and friends
- I can shop anytime I want to (not just from 10-6)
- So many more choices for everything
- I can buy more soy products than just milk
- When I am lost I can ask for directions and can actually
understand what I am being told
- It is just wonderful to be back in my own country again
- Seeing the American Flag everywhere
- my daughter has more choices and opportunities in high
school
- The joy of watching her experience a stateside high school
for the first time
- I can paint my house any color I want. No more beige or
white walls
- Sam's Club
- More than 6 channels on the tv and so many choices
- HGTV
I'm sure there are many more but I can't think of them right now. It is just the little every day things that we take for granted. Don't get me wrong, I loved living in Spain and the whole European experience but it is nice to be home.
Maine is beautiful and the people are so friendly and nice. I feel very happy.

It is good to hear from you. Moving is such a pain, the packing and unpacking. We were so stressed out but made it through. It is all worth it in the end.
Good luck with your move!

Steph,
Thanks! All the major stuff has been unpacked. Just the little things left and I hate those. Don't always know what to do with the little things. I still have a few things that I can't find like my bread knife. I know it is somewhere just don't know where. I'll find everything eventually.

That list of things you missed is VERRRY interesting! And very odd too! You can't paint your house any color you want in Spain? And you have to shop only between 10-6? Strange, very strange.
You find Mainers friendly, do ya? REALLY? I'm surprised, 'cause we sure didn't used to be! If you weren't a native Mainer, we wouldn't have anything to do with you. And if you were visitin' for the summer, we wanted you to spend your money and then go back home!
Maine is beautiful, you're absolutely right! We still own a cottage on Lake Kezar (Lovell, Maine), although it's undergoing major remodelling, so it's no longer a cottage, more like a magnificent mansion. (Okay, so it's not mine any more, I gave my interest in it to my brother.) Damn.
Anyway, it's WONDERFUL having you back! Will you stay here for good now?
