The USA

Another day of work chores and evening entertaining of our guest.

Tonight we walked up to the Scoop and met a friend who just had a birthday and lives nearby. He speaks a little French so they got by a bit. I could understand very little.

I think he’s having a good week, and also enjoyed seeing our office.

Bon jour! Salude! Arret! J’suis tres fatigue!

All my French words together.

Our guest is obsessed with the US and wants to live here, go here for college. I remember when we visited them in France in 2013, he had a US flag bedspread.

I imagine he will enjoy it to some degree, hopefully it will meet some of his wild expectations. I think he will come to realize there is much about France that will be better than life here. Who knows??

I am having latent mothering instincts surging back up as we buy food for the week, make sure he’s enjoying himself, on a schedule, etc. It’s nice to have a nice kid around in our house again.
