New colours

In my mind and body it feels like 2 in the afternoon, reality of the clock states that it is indeed 9 AM. I must confess that last night we hit the sack at 9 PM, probably could have at 7 PM except we were at Chili's enjoying fajitas and refills on ice-cold Coke:) what a pleasure that was! Anyway we are back in Goshen in our lovely apartment, it doesn't look like it used to. It is bigger, I think, and it has more color- a soft bluish-green on some walls, pale yellow in the bedroom and more of a sunflower yellow in the bathroom. This is an upgrade to the off white we've had for the last 7 years. I am quite convinced it is bigger, ya we have more space than we used to. I have unpacked all of one piece of luggage, not much for being home for 30 some hours. Our flight out of Heathrow was delayed 3 hours, and then after boarding we sat another 2 without moving. This put us 5 hours behind so when we landed at O'Hare field in Chicago it was already 12:30 England time, and once we arrived home it was 5:30 England time because of losing one hour to another time change. We fell into bed to say the least. Yesterday is basically a vapor except for our slow stroll through Meijier, I probably looked as though I had never been a supermarket before. Mouth gaping open, wandering somewhat aimlessly through aisle after aisle of choice after choice. We found a small British foods spot in the store, PG Tips were 7 dollars, a tiny Marmite was 5.29 and my favorite Jacob's Cream Crackers that are .50 at Iceland were 2.50 here. Just a small taste of Oxford, one that we probably won't make at that price. I know that there will be much adjusting to get used to, but for now I will sit back and enjoy reading the local newspaper, looking out over the beautiful landscape and staring at the beautifully colored walls of our "bigger" apartment.
