Tonight was the Meet-A-Family reception. This is were students are paired up with a family from Grantham. My friend Beth and I are in the same family, and tonight we got to meet our family and have dinner with them. At first it was a little awkward trying to find things to talk about, but after about 30 minutes we had all warmed up to one another. From the left is Steve, Angela, Dorrien, Me, and Beth. Angela and Steve are married and their neighbor, Dorrien, is widowed. They have been neighbors for 40 years and they were all very nice. We ate dinner and then Beth and I showed them our rooms. We have already planned to go bowling with them next Friday, and then the day after that we are going to Nottingham with them to see all the Robin Hood stuff. Later on we may go ballroom dancing, learn how to cross-stitch, and go to the sea shore.
Tomorrow I am leaving for Germany and I won't be back until late on Sunday night. I'll try to have pictures up on Monday though!

Hello Helen Fay,
I am glad to see you are having fun and getting to experience so much. I told Jessie Sue that I had looked at your blog, and she asks me now if I have seen the newest things on it. We were talking about you on Friday in library. I told her that I bet you were getting her some souviners and she said that you had better be!! She mentioned that you might be getting charms for a bracelet. She misses you, but don't tell her you know!! If you have time, and it doesn't cost too much, send us a post card to the library. The address is 721 New Gallatin Rd. We would love to show the postage from England and I know Jessie Sue would love to tell all about you. Have wonderful trip. Greetings from the "Ville".

I looks like you are learning all kinds of cool new trades. I also read your Germany bog, I am glad you are eating. I was afraid you would starve to death. HAHA!!! Have fun and stay safe!
