Top Ten - Part 1

So we are down to the last few days here in our home away from home.  We have less than 4 days until we board the airplane, but won't be in Oklahoma for 5 days....lots of travel.  So for your reading enjoyment, our family put togetether some different "top 10's"  during our family time the other night.   So each day, you will get to see what we are looking forward to when returning home.

Today's Top 10 are the the ten "little" conveniences/things we are sooooo looking forward to in America.

10. Green grass, and lawns.
9. Carpet.
8. Central heating and air.
7. Water Fountains and drinking out of the tap.
6. dryers to dry our clothes in. (mom, I am so looking forward to your HUGE Maytag washer/dryer)
5. Dishwasher.
4. No one making suggestions on why we should/shouldn't buy something, what we should/shouldn't wear, or making strong comments to us at the grocery store about what is in our grocery cart, then tsk, tsking when we check out, and craning their necks to see how much we are going to spend.
3. personal space.
2. widespread use of deodarant.
1. Ice in drinks!!!!!!!

Well, HGM has green grass because they have a well and can water, but unless people are watering grass is not gonna look so green. It was 105 yesterday. 30% chance of rain in Central OK tomorrow was last I heard so maybe it will give the grass a shot in the arm just for you. Mines not doing too well right now, but it's mostly weeds anyway. Afraid I didn't inherit my mom's green thumb.

...and, Donna, nor did you inherit her water well that kept her lawn green!

I guess you guys will come home singing, it's good to see the not so green, green grass of home. Ha Ha
I bet you are really excited!
