Where We Live

You are seeing right, there is no rain in the skies. I even got to see glimpses of sunshine today. This is Mt. Soyosan, and the view out of our window. Sometimes it is covered in clouds and you can't even tell that it is there. If you look closely you will see that there is a fence with razor wire in the background, so yes I am safe. I am not in a room in the middle of the city. I am on a very small army base. This is building number 82, or Home Sweet Home. For some reason Geoff and I always end up living in the worst places. Our 1st apartment in Trussville had slugs and other bugs constantly crawling in the bathtub. Our 1st apartment in Oklahoma was the former projects that didn't have hot water half the time. Our house in New York was okay, but I had a huge hairy beast on the rampage. Our last apartment in Okalahoma had squirrels in the walls. As a matter of fact the most decent place that we have lived was our house in Moody. Well, look where we are now. I found out earlier today that our wonderful home is actually condemned for all the mold and stuff growing in it. That might explain why it always seems damp in here.
This is the Katusa snack bar. Yes, I know it looks like a shack, and it really kind of is. The food is really good and the people that work there are so friendly. I think it is a family owned place. The good thing is it is with walkin distance from our building.
This is our Commissary (grocery stores). There are only four aisles, and they have just about everything that you may think that you need. Instead of taking the bus to get my groceries, I became a certified nerd and packed them into a tupperware bin on the back of my bike.

Our small little post has everything you need. There is a Sporting Goods store, a book store, Taco Bell, Popeyes chicken, Burger King and Baskin & Robbins that only serves about 10 flavors. The Taco Bell is the best I have ever had.

Hey Lacey I love the new pictures and update. Now I understand better about where you are. We sure could use some of that rain! I guess if you have a Taco Bell and Bakin Robbins you really don't need anything else. Stay safe. Ilove you. Aunt June

Hey Lace. Looks like a base to me. You always make the most of any situation and make it to the way you like it. You are totally meant to be a military wife if anyone is. I am so glad that you like Taco Bell again. What has it been 13 years since that great day it made you sick. The only thing I like is the Crunch wrap supreme with chicken. Well there is a few things on the menu that I like besides that. People would think you don't cook that much, since there is all these places to eat. I know better though. Geoff would much rather have what you fix. Even if it is 5 pieces of bacon.

The boys love you and miss you.
We have to look at the pictures and blow them up to cover the whole screen to see you and Geoff really well.

Til next time. Tell Geoff I said, "Hey".

I love you!
Your sis

Hey my friend, so glad you made the trip to live in Korea, mold and all. It will surely become one of your most memorable tours and will make for lots of fun and interesting stories to tell family, friends and maybe even children someday. Seriously though, you need to figure out the local shopping so you can become my personal shopper for the next year!
Kori misses you!
Debbie
