I needed to buy school supplies for the kids. A friend took me to the city's version of Staples (about the size of a walk-in closet). Each kid needed a small notebook. Some covers of the notebooks were quite intriguing . I thought I'd let you see a picture of one cover to show you what I mean. The cover is written in English, but after reading it I was a bit worried that I wouldn't be able to understand English here or our new language. My friend and I tried to figure out what in the world the English meant; she said this was typical. There are English words on things, but they are not written well. Soooo, if you would like to interpret Abby's notebook, feel free to make a comment. This cover says "WON'T YOU BE MY FRIENS? I come from so far only you...because friendship is relation two people or more person are interaction."

OK...so it's an inside joke from the kids' cousins in Salisbury.
We are so happy that everyone is getting adjusted.
We think of you daily.
Salisbury cousins, i think your poem qualifies as a notebook cover! Ha ha.
