The morning after!

We were invited to a small soiree at our neighbours last night. I didn't expect to be coming home at midnight though! It was most enjoyable. Topics of conversations ranged far and wide and they both have a good sense of humour, which is not always the case in Lincolnshire. We Sheffield expats are much more abrasive and sarcastic and it doesn't always go down well!!
Anyway we had some lovely sausage rolls (some of which I was given to have for lunch today) and drinks and nibbles and I think a good time was had by all. We are very lucky to have found such good neighbours considering our experiences in Sheffield.
Had an early morning phone call from my niece to say that my sister has been taken to hospital with broken legs and things. More later when the news becomes clearer.
My other sister rang to say that the garage won't lend her a courtesy car unless she shows them her driving licence. needless to say she can't find it anywhere and she's not sure if she's left it in Australia or America.!
Must get on with my packing. It's hard to know what to take for a month in two vastly different climates. The best thing is that nobody knows you so it doesn't matter if you wear the same thing. We are looking foward to going to Kansas though, because we felt so at home there last year.Maybe we can be a bit more adventurous this time, weather permitting and go out and about, leaving the Montana two to get on with their own lives. We'll see.
Thats all for now. more later. sheila x

Last year was below freezing every day and we had the ice storm. It looks like it will decent weather this year. You can do what my Mum does and ask, "what are you doing with your car for the next few days, Fuad?"
