What I will miss in Grenada: My simple life. I've learned that I can be perfectly happy doing just one thing a day. We don't have a lot of things, and I've learned to like that. We don't have a TV so we don't see commercials to see what we're missing. Our kids have never been in a big toy store so they're perfectly content with what they have. There isn't much variety at the store so our meals tend to be simple, giving us more time for family and helping our budget. Since there are so many things unavailable we have learned to make do with what we have or borrow from friends. There are no Joneses to keep up with.
What I will like about America: The stores. I really do like my simple life, but it will be nice to have necessities always available. Cameron and I each have one pair of pants without holes. The majority of our shirts are stained and holey. We're excited to have a few presentable clothes again. It will be wonderful to visit a store that doesn't run out of such exotic things as sugar and flour for weeks on end. When the first of our possessions in America breaks, we'll be in ecstasy as we are able to go to the store and buy a replacement.

It sounds like it's going to be a bitter sweet thing for you. Thanks for your example of being positive and making the best of each situation. I have never heard you complain and I think of you often as I grumble about this and that. I will miss you and your cute family!
