I'm not kidding.
We have been renovating the basement madly this Summer. When I say WE you know that I mean that Kent has been working like a DOG to get this all done and that I have been feeding him and helping paint. (I am the unofficial painter in the Horie House).
We had students living all over our house, but this year we decided that we should move them to the basement, then we all get a little privacy. So, the 2 rooms upstairs would be free for guests and then the 3 down would be students.
Then, I got a call. 1 Mexican student's homestay family would be away until September 8. Could we take him. He moved in August 23. Upstairs bedroom. Did I cave, absolutely. I can't say no to a stray.
August 24th our first official student for the Fall arrived from Germany, (Bode) . Last night, our next student arrived from Brazil, (Rodrigo). We are still waiting for one--He is stuck in Seattle waiting for the Mexican Consulate to issue his Student Visa, (Eduardo).
Last night, we were discussing when they had to get up and get to the orientations that have been happening this week. At 8.15 am the bus would go by the house, so Bode (Germany) decided he could get up at 8.00 am, have breakfast, make his lunch and get out to the bus......
Kent went by the bus stop at 8.19 and there they were, waiting on the next bus. Kent spoke with them briefly, and told them another bus would be by shortly.
He went home to find a brown bag full of buttered toast.
I guess tomorrow they will get up a little earlier.
