  1. Thank you, Vikki, for the quick set up. What an amazingly detailed list! Very impressive.

    I'm glad to see that you are assimilating so well.

    I just have one request: Could you go into the set up section of your blog and make the main language English? Trying to do as much in English as possible will be a new experience for you, too!

    I hope you continue to enjoy yourself!
