3 ½ months
I was wondering around the grocery store trying to decide what to have for lunch when I came across Ranier Cherries and they made my day! My mom introduced me to them at home and they have a specific season when they are available in the states as they come from Ranier, Washington so, I never expected to see them here. And on top of that I could barely contain my excitement when they were ½ off!!!! So I got my cherries and a salad and was smiling all through lunch :)
In other updates, our bible study group has grown to 3. Sherri is the President of the American Womens Club in Dublin and she joined us last week. Her husband is with KPMG and they are here on an extended assignment. When I met her and said I was from Denver we realized that we lived less than 10 min away from each other in the states. Crazy!
I have a 3 day weekend coming up because there is an Irish bank holiday on Monday August 6. I worked the last bank holiday, but this time I found out that the train system would be completely shut down between me and the office due to some major construction, so I can’t even get to the office. I guess I’ll just have to take the day off.
It’s the calm before my waves of visitors. My parents are coming and then a friend from Texas and then my cousin from Omaha and a friend. I just glanced at a calendar and realized that for 6 weekends in a row I will have guests. WHOA! That’s a lot of activity for my fairly quiet Dublin social life.
There are also 2 more Canadians coming over to work for my company in the next month and I have been emailing with them. It’s nice to have them ask questions about shipping stuff and cell phones and Dublin apartments and me actually be able to give them helpful information! I am meeting one of them for dinner next week, just like Roisin did with me when I arrived. Now that Roisin has deserted me and moved back to Canada, I have to carry on the welcoming routine.
