Finally

The fall students are finally here! I was so happy to see the coach pull up in front the houses today. I've certainly enjoyed my alone time, but it has been a bit lonely. I may not be quite ready for classes to begin, but I am glad for things to get underway.

I had a fun, yet hectic, week. The Morgans worked me like a slave! Okay, not quite, but we sure did work hard. We had to make sure that every bedroom and kitchen had all of the correct items, and then go and buy anything that was missing.

Thankfully I was payed in food. What a fantastic payment. We had chicken Korma (left over from our International Feast :D) and then us ladies watched Sense and Sensibility. The next evening Jacque and I went to Al-Shami, a Lebanese restaurant in Jericho. My meal, Shish Taouq, was amazing. We came back to houses and put on a cute little movie called Serendipity while we enjoyed tea and biscuits.

I am so proud of myself, because I gave correct directions to someone this afternoon in town. I'm glad I know where the Randolph Hotel is. I am disappointed that the Pitt Rivers museum will not open until 2009. So sad, but I suppose I'll be able to find other things to do here. In fact, I found out today about a horse show that will be held at Blenheim Palace. Hmm, now that sounds like a fun day out.

Isn't Sense and Sensibility just great? I love that movie. One of my favorite all time characters is Elinor Dashwood. So wonderful.

Serendipity is also fun. We will have to watch both together n the spring. Add it to the list.

I'm glad you have company again.

Love,
Anna

So glad you have students there with you, when does classes start?

We went to the Buffalo Gap chili cook off yesterday, we were judges again, so got our fill of yummy food.

The fair will start again here soon, should be fun, Grandad will enter honey again and maybe some vegetables from our garden.

Take care and God bless you
Love grandmother

We all know that if horses are somewhere, so shall Rebekah be.

I'd like to come as well, if you end up going.
