<p>I have just returned to America after 5 1/2 years of teaching English in China. It was a great experience but I'm elated to be home. (Yippee!!) America, even your dirt is clean and your beauty a feast for my eyes. (Our area of China was arid and somewhat barren.)<br />

It is so great to be near family again! I could hardly recognize my grandchildren as they have grown up while we were away! It was so wonderful to see our first great-grandbaby for the first time!<br />

We are busy re-establishing a life here after being away for so long. It isn't easy in our current economic situation. My life isn't as busy and full here as it was in China but I now have time to catch up on things that have been on hold for so long.</p>
