One nice thing about where I live (Can you tell I am homesick for America, and hence, making a concerted effort to continue to list all the good things about being here?), is that I can send Firstborn to walk alone to the grocery store for me, about a 10 minute walk from our house. I sent her with a list of 3 things: cucumbers, tomatoes, and diapers. We are steadily eating up all the food in our house, and I am not buying more before we leave. However, we have nothing green or healthy. So I thought a nice Turkish salad would be nice tonight. I also noted we will not make it to Nashville without more diapers.I did send my phone in case of an emergency. The phone rang, and she said, "Mom!!!! Did you know diapers are 23 lira?!" Yes, I did know. 5 expensive bottoms, I've had.

oh i miss that! there is a convenience store at the end of our street that we have sent the kids to but only if erica was able to go. they don't have fresh produce though. i miss the freedom the kids had the most. i must admit that i am loving that they can play outside in a place where i don't have to worry about dogs, trash, or speeding vehicles. now fire ants...that's another story!
