I can understand that you would find that some of them might stir some emotions! It must be interesting, as well, to read your early impressions of American life. I thought the comment about "sandwiches" was pretty funny! When possible, or I should say "if" possible, it would be delightful to read others. I did enjoy this one. :-)Debrahttp://www.breathelighter.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-13082231868416853422014-04-16T14:50:02.422-07:002014-04-16T14:50:02.422-07:00Inger, your Mom was a lovely and wise lady, saving...Inger, your Mom was a lovely and wise lady, saving all your letters from America.

How fortunate that you found a good family to live with and to help you explore life in America.<br /><br />Of course, your letters are precious and a beautiful way to remember the years gone by. The young people of today will never be able to have this written history of their lives because everything is done electronically now.Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032033918798053005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-60893840688795956562014-04-14T17:16:24.335-07:002014-04-14T17:16:24.335-07:00Inger, I enjoyed the entire letter and the best pa...Inger, I enjoyed the entire letter and the best part was when you asked about ounces to grams!!!!...:)JPjp@A Green Ridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15217268829093983376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-74834436329256887042014-04-14T17:13:39.235-07:002014-04-14T17:13:39.235-07:00How neat..thanks for sharing your letter home.

When I first went to Spain 3 years ago to teach English, I stayed with a Spanish family, and I kept a diary which I still have and read back now and then, even though it was only a few years ago. It was such an adventure and I'd never been abroad before so as I'm sure you know it was all very exciting! Did you first go to America for university? I can't recall ever reading why you first went to the USA.<br />Have a great day Inger! <br /><br />PS, there is a post on my blog which is directed towards yourself, and other blogger friends, some of whom I have met after you shared one of my posts last year. National M.E day is coming up in May so perhaps you'd like to share something again, it's always particularly good to raise awareness at that time of the year. I could post something about diabetes on my blog or do some sort of guest post.hayleyesztihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14517966025318167347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-59292118241570158822014-04-14T11:57:21.265-07:002014-04-14T11:57:21.265-07:00Härliga inlägg .

We never could have afforded it, but I could have made some extra cash teaching other people's kids (home schooling) if I'd really wanted. The city is a strange place. <br /><br /><a href="http://crystalcollier.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">True Heroes from A to Z</a>Crystal Collierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03912469552483168148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-30006819643091002892014-04-14T10:34:16.492-07:002014-04-14T10:34:16.492-07:00All I can say is THANKS for sharing!!All I can say is THANKS for sharing!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-3740085956745053722014-04-14T09:51:01.542-07:002014-04-14T09:51:01.542-07:00Reading your thoughts from back in that time perio...Reading your thoughts from back in that time period must be wonderful.
