I pray that I get the job and that I at least enjoy it while I am here

This is such a lovely change from when you first got back and was considering returning to the USA.
My wife has no real interest in this forum but occasionally I will read something to her, for example Ed's previous posts or Rods return last week, I just read your post to my wife and while reading the last paragraph I had tears on my eyes, I suppose that sez it all.

Yes I am going to have a few things to get used to after 34 years, but I am sure it will all come back to me ..just have to remember to spell words the English way again..eg. Checks, labor, etc etc
