Kathy,

I wish you and your husband Paul only great things on this adventure of yours. Judy sent me information about your blog, and I am enjoying reading it very much. Keep us all posted, and the best of luck in your new home. How long are you planning on staying in China, or has that yet been decided?

Lois

We were so pleased to hear of your upcoming trip to Beijing. It is so exciting and if we can do it, we will come to visit. We had an absolutely fabulous time with you both during our flying visit last week. It was lovely to see Angela (my god-daughter) and her son Hayden, who is absolutely the cutest seven year old I have ever met. He is extremely well-mannered and a joy to have a conversation with.

Love, Judy

Hi Kathy,

Good luck with your adventure! I have no doubt that you will help many students with their English. You have helped my son Ethan so very much with his reading. We have appreciated it more then you could know. It is such a pleasure now to see him pick up a book and read it on his own. We will look forward to reading your blog while you are away. Have a safe trip.

Janice, Selwyn and Ethan Hamilton-Dicker

Hi Judy,

Thanks! I have to give my daughter Angela credit for most of it. She is a real whiz at this kind of thing. It’s great having someone to help me when I get into trouble, like I did earlier trying to put a picture on the post.

But you know what they say. You learn from your mistakes, and I’m learning a lot!

Yes that’s a great idea if you put the address on the staff email list. I would love to hear from anyone who is interested.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi Kathy,

Your blog looks great! This will truly be an adventure and I can’t wait to hear all about it.

Is it OK if I put your blog address on the Black River Staff email list? I’m sure many of the staff would love to hear all about you trip.

Thanks for all that good advice,Ling. I know that it will be a big adjustment but we will adapt!
Just one thing- I saw a show about Beijing and I think they do have Home Depot there – so Paul will be happy!
