Homesick

I've only been gone a week! And I'm already quite homesick. The people here focus so much on their family, it makes me miss everyone. Even the kitties & rico! I talk to Paul everynight (morning for him) on the internet, which works out well & I have called home once, but the call was short. I just hope everyone is doing well & knows I miss them!

They have a nice newsletter here at Waters India that they print up & mail out every month. This was in this Month's version.

My Father
When I was:
- 4 years old: My daddy can do anything
- 5 years old: My daddy knows a whole lot
- 6 years old: My dad is smarter than your dad
- 8 years old: My dad doesn't know exactly everything
-10 years old: In the olden days, when my dad grew up, things were different
- 12 years old: Oh, well, naturally, Father doesn't know anything about that. He's to old to remember his childhood
-14 years old: Don't pay attention to my father, he's so old fashioned.
- 21 years old: Him? My lord, he is hopelessly out of date
- 25 years old: Dad knows a little about it, but then he should because he's been around so long
- 30 years old: Maybe we should ask dad what he thinks. After all, he's had a lot of experience
- 35 years old: I'm not doing a single thing until I talk to dad
- 40 years old: I wonder how daddy would have handled it. He was wise & had a world of experience
- 50 years old: I'd give anything if dad were here now so I could talk this over with him. Too Bad I didn't appreciate how smart he was. I could have learned a lot from him

I'll have more of an update later. I've got to go pick up the Sari's for the weddings this morning & have some other running around to do.
