Days 63-66 (8/29-9/1/16)

Day 63
Not a very exciting day. We ran errands, bought a barbecue and went grocery shopping.  The best part was that I made apple cobbler using apples from the tree in our garden.




Day 64
Made the 4 hour drive up to the nearest American Military base to take care of paperwork.  We stocked up on non-perishable food items that we either can't get at British grocery stores or that are much more expensive here.

The highlight of the day was getting an email with delivery dates for our household goods. Yay!!


Day 65
We toured Plymouth College Preparatory School, which is a local public school (Note: UK public school = US private school, and UK state school = US public school). The headmaster was great, the class size is small and the curriculum is good. The kids are going to attend the 1st day of the fall term as a trial day to see how they like it.

Afterward, we went shopping for skates for Annette. She found a pair she liked and bought them with the birthday money that Grandma and Papa sent her. She skated pretty well considering it was her first time.


Day 66
More skating practice.  Ron even gave it a try. He is much braver trying new things than his sister, which is both good and bad.  I foresee many more injuries for him.
