Hope you enjoy the pictures and let us know if you are curious about anything! We LOVE hearing from you :)
I love all the pictures, Jim and Joye! I am a very visual learner so I really appreciate your time and effort to post the pics. Very nice looking families! Congrats on your induction! Can't wait to hear all about it!
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see the host family portraits! Is it a thing for the older women/mothers in a family to sit down during portraits? I noticed that reoccurring in your photos and didn't know if there was any particular reason behind it.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of crops are the most common where you are? The plants in Jim's garden picture look like some sort of lettuce and some sort of bean.
