Second day of school and again I was helping out in the library.  The gal that runs it is Dutch and her husband is with the UN here.  She has been giving me all the scoop and telling me how to deal with the various politics of the place.  She is one of those "gets things done" kind of people.  I imagine from the moving every 2 to 3 years she has had to be.  She tells me if there's something I don't like at school "stay on top of it, speak up!"  I think I'll give it a few days.  Grace has moved down to Italian as a Second Language after they starting discussing Dante in her Italian class yesterday - in Italian.  She is not quite there yet.  The weather has turned beautiful now and tomorrow I'm going to get at my garden.  It's beginning to frighten me.....  xxoo me
