Basketball

My neighbors across the street have a foreign exchange student living in their home for this year. Our neighborhood is no stranger to this, in fact this is the second foreign exchange student to live in our neighborhood. This afternoon I drove up to my house and saw the whole family across the street raking leaves in their yard. A normal thing in an American family, but not all people have this opportunity to have a yard and rake leaves from their yard. About an hour and half later, I looked out the window and have watched them playing basketball for about 20 mins. What is interesting is that they are teaching this girl the game of basketball. I can't read lips, but I can see their actions and see them teaching her the basics. What is even more entertaining is the fact that she doesn't speak much English, which is making it just a little difficult to teach the game, but none the less, my neighbors are pressing on, and it is a beautiful thing to watch take place.

Love/Hate

I have a love hate relationship with the landscapers at our apartment complex. I love them, because they truly do a great job. They come out here anytime we need them and they are out here quick. Not only that, but while they are here, they seriously take their time with what they do and make sure that they are doing their jobs perfectly, and I mean pretty much perfectly. Here is where the landscaper looses my love. And you know, it's only the one who mows the grass. They start landscaping somewhere around 7:00am. Who lets them in the gate at that hour, I'm not sure but, they start around 7:00am. And they go around every building I swear about 4 times. Not 4 continous times, but 4 times. But you know, this is all just water under the bridge. It's been a great morning for me, and it's not even 9:00. I'm looking cute, feeling great, and I'm on my way to class early so I can stop and get some chick fil a. Then I'm headed home to get my hair did and my toes did. It's going to be a great day for me, even if the landscapers did wake me up :) Have an awesome day, and if you haven't voted, get out and vote!

Blessings!
