Yesterday we committed ourselves to returning on August 27th. We did some serious checking on housing here. It would be just too complicated. I really miss not having a house of our own. Even though the aunt has been gone with the stupid dog(s) for the last three weeks and the uncle leaves every weekend it just isn’t the same. I want to open the door and let the dog out. He hardly spends any time outdoors now. Does his thing and wants right back in. He used to stay out for an hour at a time and bark when he wanted back in. I want my patio furniture, to sit outside and read. Here we have the cement steps. There is friction between our landlady and her uncle, so no one wants to mow the yard. It got mowed the other day for the first time in a month.
Jack would choose to stay at the drop of a hat. The ethics of the people are like those back in the 50’s, very polite, family oriented. Food is cheap. But what would we do with all of our personal things we have stored? I would have to learn Czech to get a decent job. I would need a job in order to afford a house to rent or buy. There is just tons of stuff we have had to consider. Plus, interest rates in the States have never been lower, as our banker keeps reminding us.
August 20 - I have put off finishing this thinking I would know where it is we are going to live. We still don’t know! So we will play it by ear and send out cards whenever and wherever we have an address or send email when we get back on line. If anyone does need to contact us after the 27th my sister will always know where we are: Dar Hoch 630-232-1513. Also, we scratched driving to Munich - we took the train - another really great trip. But, I have to do packing instead of writing-seven days and counting
