I'll also miss Sunsai, a Japanese place in Kirkwood and HM a new favorite clothing spot for Ellen and me. <BR/><BR/>You should ask for phone minutes or cards or something like that for your b-day or Christmas or just because they love you so you can call when you need to hear a familiar voice.Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01683295973318482442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18817460.post-48212850181084321332007-08-29T11:04:00.000-05:002007-08-29T11:04:00.000-05:00That would be "here", not "hear"....I've been havi...That would be "here", not "hear"....I've been having issues with homophones lately.<BR/><BR/>And one last thing...you are right about the high school thing. It is weird. People here ask me where I'm from, and when I say St. Louis, Missouri (because no one will have heard of Wildwood), they ask me, "No, where did you come from?" And they want to know where my original ancestors came from. Not being Mennonite (like everyone else here), I don't have that whole family history recorded, so I just usually say "from Adam just outside the Garden of Eden". Most of them don't find me humorous. It's quite a bummer.Inklinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02775312085301951675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18817460.post-38108385348183210352007-08-29T11:00:00.000-05:002007-08-29T11:00:00.000-05:00I hear you. Though I have to admit that there are...I hear you. Though I have to admit that there are even days when I miss Manchester Road. No kidding. I miss Kaldi's, the City Coffeehouse with their wonderful crepes, Baskin Robbins, Ted Drewes, the Art Museum, a mall that has more than one department store, good used bookstores like Dunaways, seeing the Purina checkerboard when I would drive across to Illinois, my church and the people there, Babler State Park, Forest Park, and a million other things. And sometimes, I even miss the crazy traffic that would give me time to catch up via cellphone with my friends (I know, I deserve a lecture on the dangers of this), as well as listen to the radio. Here, the longest commute is 20 minutes if I want to go from one end of town to the other and hit all the red lights. Sadly, I have no one here to just call and chat with on my cell phone, and my hubby wouldn't really appreciate paying large long-distance fees for me to call the States.<BR/><BR/>Okay, I know this was your post. But you just shared a bit of "therapy" with me. =) No one hear gets it, but it's nice to see that you do. <BR/><BR/>I hope you have a wonderful move to Kansas, and that you and your kids soon find it feeling exactly like the home you've dreamed. And I hope you guys are able to ride the roller coaster of emotions in the meantime.Inklinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02775312085301951675noreply@blogger.com
