Last week my daughters were in the living room and the TV was on a news channel. The reporter was covering the recent violence in Kenya. As I walked through the room, I overheard my daughter Jewel saying to her sister,
" You know you are an MK ( missionary kid) when seeing coverage of a riot makes you homesick!"

Oh yeah...a month ago the Embassy issued warnings for a possible riot in Asuncion.
I. Was. Excited!! I did my groceries, and planned on hunkering down at home for a cozy week. LOL. Only MK's associate riots with "coziness." But, nothing happened. Oh well.

I have a feeling that that type of homesickness is just around the corner for us.

Hehehe... our family in Florida gets a kick of it, during the hurricane season. They say it feels so much like home, when they have to buy groceries and stuff 'just in case'.
As we call it here: 'prepare for war'. It's not that we would like to be in an actual war, it's just a way to handle the situation with humor. (yes, we're nuts!)
