The quiet mouse

During voluntary service I lived with 2 girls from Germany and 1 from Canada. We also had unit leaders who were from Indiana but had spent time in Kansas.

So our range of accents was pretty good. Even though I was from Ohio I had an accent.

Today I found out Ohio is a state with an accent.

I spent a year in Indiana. I came home with a different accent.

I still have an accent today but it’s mostly just my normal one. I’m deaf in one ear so I hear things differently. I also speak a bit differently because of my hearing.

It really doesn’t bother me. Honestly I can’t wait to see my friends from Europe again. I miss hearing them talk.

I miss alot of things these days.

I really miss my dad. He would be thrilled with my girls.

He would be ecstatic about my new job. Oh how I wish I could call and tell him about it. I know I’m going to want to call and tell him about the parts and what I learned each day. Oh and the farm machinery. I’m a country girl who married a city boy.

My goal is to be amazing at my job. My dad would be proud of that.
