Language Lesson #3

Hi Everyone!
Well, it's been a very busy fall. No pictures to show now, but hopefully soon. Andy had a wonderful expeirence in New York with the theatre project he was working on. I had a great time visiting with my sister Martha and her husband Dan in Septemember. Thanks to Dan's hady-dandy guidebook, we found some really great restaruants and pubs that I have since been back to. It was great to catch-up with them. It made me even more homesick when they left. But, enter James! One of the new students at Andy's school came and stayed with me a week soon after Martha and Dan left. He's a fellow Iron Ranger! We had a great week, I loved showing him the ropes in the same way that some of our friends did when we first arrived. Finally Andy came home, and after a few days his mom came for a visit as well. It was wonderful to spend time with her (and to have some good MN home-cookin'). We're looking forward to when she and Dave come back this winter.
So, with all of these visitors, I've been thinking of more language lesson ideas....

The Brits vs. The Yanks
Signage:
Give Way = Yeild
Way Out = Exit
Mind the Gap = Look out for that crack!
Miscellaneous:
torch = flash light
pram = stroller
trolley = cart
biscuit = cookie (but it sure sounds healthier when you say biscuit)
innit = isn't it

That's all I can think of for now, but more to come soon! Hope you are all well.

Peace,
Mandy
