Just the way it is...

Here in our busy little town, errands are rarely a quick thing. You'd never imagine it could take so long to buy stamps or to just deposit money. A few days ago, my husband went into town to run some errands. It was the day before a public holiday, so things were packed. It usually isn't the best idea to try to go to the post office or bank, but sometimes, you just don't have a choice.
It just struck me funny as relayed the less-than-exhilarating experience (one of many) to me. He said that there must have been hundreds of people in the bank itself. He was waiting and waiting for almost 45 minutes in the queue (the line).
What else do you do when you're bored? Count the people in front of you!
My husband said he stopped counting at 75 people in front of him...
AND THAT WAS IN THE EXPRESS LANE! :o)

Hi Kristin,

We really have no right at all to complain here in the states do we!! I enjoy reading you posts and trust the babies are doing well. How about some more baby pictures??

Praying for you in NJ,
