WOW! I FEEL GOOD!

WOW! I FEEL GOOD!


How else can I say it? “WOW! I FEEL GOOD!”

Sara, our former tutor came for a visit this evening at 9pm (after she got the kids fed and ready for bed). We haven’t seen her for a couple of months-since she started her full-time job, and we have missed her terribly.  I remember the Italian phrase for “I miss you,” “Mi manche!” by thinking of the words “Me monkey!” This is very close to the Italian pronunciation. This suits both Sara and me perfectly, because we always have such a good, silly time together.  So, we have both started signing our emails “MM!”

We had a lovely time together, with Peter in the next room adding comments whenever he wanted. He had some reading he needed to do, but stayed close enough to hear as well.  We all decided that this period of never getting together would need to end, so Sara agreed to come for another visit next week. We were thrilled

As she left, I gave her a musical card with a cute bulldog (Remember, we’re Georgia Bulldogs in our family!) on the front to take home to her children. When you open it, you hear a very loud, “WOW! I FEEL GOOD!” She said, “Don’t tell Lucia and Leo I have this, because I’m going to keep it for myself! When she left, I could hear “WOW! I FEEL GOOD!” playing over and over as she walked away.

MM, Sara,

Colleen
