Life What to write.....I am married and have been for the last 40 years. Bill and I have three children. Brie is 38 and is planning to move to a larger city to start her photography business since the economy took a dive most likely she will go to Seattle instead of California which was her hope. Russell is 35 and currrently a victim of the economic crunch. Mark is 31 and he works in Seattle. None are married yet....so no grandchildren. However, over the years our family has hosted 16 high school age exchange students, the countries are Sweden, Brazil, Germany, Poland, Russia, Finland, Norway, The Netherlands, Australia,and Switzerland with several duplicates. It has been a great experience and I keep in touch with all of them so there are "Grandkids among them" and I have also a couple of "adopted Grandkids" that I have collected along the way. (You have to do something if your own don't cooperate :)) We also have hosted three Japanese teachers that have come to our area with Compass USA three different summers with groups from Shuei High School in Ciba City. We will host again this summer (last summer they did not come due to SWINE FLU). The groups come for three weeks on their only vacation during the summer to experience the USA and our language and customs. Hosting the teachers has been a real treat....for them and for us sin...Expand for more
