The time is set

I've chatted with Mai, our Japanese exchange student who is coming back for a visit. We've been able to chat the last two evenings (mornings in Japan) on Messenger. She is scheduled to arrive late morning, Tuesday March 7. Woo hoo!

Our year with Mai was fun and exciting. We had expected a quiet, respectful, helpful Asian girl. Mai was anything but quiet--although she was pretty respectful and sometimes helpful ;) (but she did not want to be called Mai the Maid). She had never ending questions and laughter and smiles. We even taught her how to hug, American style.

She'll be here for three short weeks, and I just wish I didn't have to work so much during that time! She's still got lots of friends here, and I just know she won't be bored. She'll just hop on a bus and go to the Mall of America and shop, shop shop if she has any down time at all!

Till next time,


Suzi
