WE MISS HOME!!!
Here is our list of most-missed things about home:
Family, including our 14 year-old dog, Kristey
Friends and acquaintances (including neighborhood, work, garden club, Bunko group, Hot wings group)
Church/small group
Work (Bobby)
American TV and radio
Starbucks (Kim)
The smells of home and America
A routine
The independence of having a car/being able to stay busy
Sunshine (it has been very overcast/grey here since the first couple of days)
Wal-Mart
Cell phone plan (before we make a phone call, even locally, we must check to make sure that we have enough grivnas/minutes)
Smoke-free options
Color in general (Most sights are grey or dark: sky, road, all brick, Ukrainian clothes)
Landscaping (we haven’t seen much beauty surrounding homes or buildings)
Hills (it is very flat here)
Our yard/grass (space between neighbors)
Christmas sights (we did buy 2 garlands and decorated them)
Christmas shopping (Kim)
A variety of eateries (Chinese, Mexican, etc).
My kitchen/large table/icemaker/large trash can that doesn’t need to be emptied every hour/clothes dryer (there’s nothing like the feel of clothes fresh out of the dryer)
Being able to read what you are buying in the grocery store (now we look for the cow or pig symbol on the meat to make sure it is not muskrat, etc).

Hi Mom, Dad, Katie, and Kevin!!
I am so excited that you will be home soon!! Mom, only a little while longer to go without Starbucks!!! I will have a cafe latte with a splenda waiting for you when you get home!!! Soon, you all will be enjoying lots of fresh warm dried clothes straight out of the Kemp's dryer!! And thank goodness for the two huge green garbage cans here!! You might need one more! :0) I love you and miss you!
Love,
Shelley and Chris
COME HOME SOON! Things haven't been the same since yall have been gone. Even the weather is weird- 80 degrees yesterday. It is hard to sing Christmas songs wearing shorts and grilling out but oh well Sunday is supposed to be in the 40's.
Bobby Kim and kids, We miss you guys too. Any idea when you will be returning to the good ol USA? We are praying for you. Hang in there. Tell Denis that Morgan and Dedy say hello. Love you The Werk Family
