Argir

After their lessons today, I took the kids to Argir.  I showed them where we lived, where we went to school, where we used the road for sledding if the snow was perfect, where the boys would run water down the schoolyard hill so we could slide to school, where we played chicken with the cars and got yelled at, where we went to church, where Sorensen's used to be, and where the kiosk was.


Then we went down to the beach and walked around, the kids found a dead jelly fish and thought it was a used breast implant.  We then walked to the church yard, but I couldn't remember where Abbi was interred.  Danielle suggested we each take a row and walk up and down the aisles until we found it.  It took about ten minutes of this before we actually found it.  Omma was not on the stone, so I rang Mammubeiggji to see if she was somewhere else.  Apparently, they just haven't had the money to carve the stone yet.

After that, we walked to the bus stop (another 30 minute walk) and waited about 30 minutes for the bus.  The bus didn't stop!  Luckily, the #3 bus was there at the time.  I asked him if something had changed because the bus hadn't stopped.  He called the #5 and made him turn around and come back.  We got home only 5 minutes late.  LOL.

So far, the kids have mastered basic introductions and can discuss their moods.  They are trying to learn a song.

  1. How cool to show the kids where you grew up...I think it means more to us old folks than it does to them.
