We left our beloved cabin home on the first day of summer. The sadness of departure was somewhat diminished by our mad scramble to pack, clean, and destroy (we set fire to an old loveseat, mattress, and bookshelf). Though we are still excited about our upcoming move, we are somewhat jealous for the ripe tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, and greenbeans we left behind in our garden. Silas Jose and Bobby Kennedy seem to be adjusting well to their new home. They are busy exploring new territories and trying out new scratching posts.
We finished our two week "pre-field orientation" and have been spending a lot of time with various branches of the Ewing family. Adam visited for a few days with his girlfriend Cori, who prepared a tasty Thai dinner for us one night. Mr. Ewing used the opportunity to deck his family in ethnic garb.
Jessica and Will Stone are also in town for the week. We all braved the brunt of the hottest day of the year yesterday during a trip to the Memphis Zoo.

Would the loveseat you set fire to happen to be a green and velvety? If so, that would have been a beautiful thing to see it go up in flames...very dramatic.

I'll see you soon(ish). I've been posting pictures of Pohang on my blog if you're interested.

i tried to leave a comment before, but that was on dad's computer so, of course, i was denied...hoping to talk to la maestra de español before you leave mañana.
I'm totally stalking your blog right now cause I'm so anxious to see your first entry about Seoul! I don't think you've arrived there yet if your plane leaves today though, ha-ha. Have a great trip!
Ryan and Abby,
We were so glad the trip went OK and it was good to hear from you.
Hope you find something acceptable to eat. We're anxious to hear about the apartment.
We love you both very much!
Dad and Natalie
