Laowai

My newest hobby is watching the men working at the construction site next to our apartment. It’s nice to see a couple of them that are tanned and toned, but really I just like to check in with the progress on the building. It’s interesting – really. They put up a big crane yesterday. I think they could use it to lift the furniture out of our house on Monday.

They got a big delivery of Dow styrofoam yesterday – I was telling Bea that Dow started in the town where her Grandmas and Grandpas live and I was going on about how Grandpa J. and Daddy worked for Dow (Corning) and Grandpa C. worked where Mr. Dow lived. She finally said “Mom, I think you’re more excited about that than I am.” Oh – I was just feeling proud of my home town.
