If you have ever lived or passed through eastern PA you may have experienced an unspeakable joy in the form of the gas/convenience store, "Wawa". Because of Wawa, I L-O-V-E hazelnut coffee.
Yesterday, a package came from our good friends in northern OH. Among other wonderful things, was a coffee can of hazelnut flavored coffee. happy sighhhhhh. My house smells amazing this morning. It's a combination of coffee, fresh baked bread and apple butter simmering in the crock pot.
If hazelnut coffee wasn't enough to rejoice about, I also finished the 5th and final book of our Chinese textbooks yesterday. Yippeeeee!!! With the birth of Lilian, going to Chengdu and studying this particular book only 4 hours a week, it has taken a very long time to get through Book 5. So, I couldn't stop smiling yesterday as we finished up the lesson. I proudly announced to the school office that I was finished and there was much rejoicing among us. It is a very good feeling. I still have other books to study but finishing these 5 is a big deal.
Even a smoggy morning can't dampen my spirits today.
