First of all, the blog this morning was supposed to be titled, "A Night At The Races". How it came to be titled "windsor" is beyond me. I am really looking forward to getting myself a big ass desk top computer when I get home. This mini notebook is great but my big fingers and hands are always hitting something that is deleting or moving or rearranging what I am writing. There is nothing like writing a note to someone for 20 minutes and then all of a sudden it disappears.
Can you tell it was a quiet day today? I am rambling once again because I have nothing important to say.
Today we got up late, (a relative term . . .9 is late for Ger and EARLY for me), had a leisurely breakfast of crumpets and tea and then I caught up on my email and blog. It was quite chilly this morning. Jeans and jacket weather. Sun was out but it was cold. I LOVE IT ! I hear my darlings in Florida and Maryland are roasting. Kristen said it was 97 and HUMID in lovely Florida today. I DO NOT MISS THAT ! Ger and I finally got up off the couches and took a walk to the local pub where we had a nice lunch. No beer or cider for lunch today, just a tuna sandwich and a soda. Great sandwich but it was loaded with big chunks of onions. It tasted fabulous but it is killing me tonight. These English Onions are tough little buggers. Bridget called to find us and she walked down to meet us to sit and chat for a while before we all walked to Abby's school to pick her up at 3:30. I am getting to meet a lot of the moms of kids in Abby's class and they are very friendly. All are offering "play dates" for Abby when K&B are in the Ukraine.
Have I mentioned that K&B leave on Sunday to fly to Kiev where they go to court on Tuesday, June 22? Hopefully the adoption papers will be set in order and this will be the beginning of the end of the whole adoption process. After spending a couple of days in Kiev they will fly to the town where Roman is living. It is 16 hours by train to make this trip so they decided to fly. K&B will then get to see Roman and spend some time with him before they head back to the UK on July 2. (There is a 10 day waiting period before Bridget returns to the Ukraine to FINALLY bring Roman home.) Ger and I will be here in Windsor waiting with Abby who will hopefully be alive and well after being in our care for the 12 days.
A lot going on here and Abby is having some trouble with K&B leaving for the 12 days but I think we will all be fine once things get moving. Ger and I are beginning to feel comfortable with the area and are settling into a routine that makes us feel at home. (that routine does include beer)Tonight Ger. Kyle and I are sitting in front of the TV in the beautiful formal room, complete with massive fireplace that has a mirror over it that has got to be 10 feet high and 5 feet wide. It doesn't come near to touching the ceiling that is at least 30 feet high. Have I mentioned that this house is amazing? Ger is watching the World Cup and Kyle and I are working on our computers. Just a quiet night in the English country side.
Tomorrow's adventure . . . a tour of Windsor Castle ! Can't wait, maybe we'll see the Queen.
