Short Pause in Kaz

Day 11 of our 14-day bonding period

Today's photo is of Jo Ann in front of our favorite restaurant. They serve a lot of different dishes, but we normally order the pizza. It's not great, but the Americans seem to find the food and prices tolerable and we keep coming back.

It was rainy again this morning, but that didn't stop us from doing our morning walk to the market. We decided that we needed to buy milk and some other milk products for LG for dinner. When I got to the milk section of the store, I looked for anything that looked close to saying "pasturized" but I couldn't see anything. We decided to buy some milk that was in a box that looked safe.

Our visit with LG went very well. We made soup and macaroni and cheese. We also had the milk. LG also had a yogurt. She had never had yogurt before and seemed to like it. LG wanted to play on the computer again, so I managed to find the Windows pinball game and showed her how to play it. She was very good at it. We also played a couple games of "Go Fish!" and the Winnie the Pooh memory game. LG won every game that we played. She has a really good memory. LG even went with me to the small store across the street form the hotel to buy a big bottle of water.

Dinner went well. LG ate some of the soup, all of the macaroni and cheese, and had a couple of glasses of milk.

After we got home, we were both feeling a little sick. We're now wondering about the milk we bought. To play it safe, Jo Ann says she is not going to be drinking any more milk while she is here.

We were told that the kids at LG's orphanage get a 1-week vacation next week, so our visits will probably be earlier in the day. Of course, we expect to be going to court sometime next week and taking LG out of the orphanage for good.

We'll keep you posted on when we have a court date.
