A new chapter

A three to four month chapter

Well it started in December, when  Richard came to stay in our guest suite. 
 He leaves in the morning, no breakfast, not even any coffee, and when he comes home, he has already eaten dinner. 
 He is just "renting" a little room for a 6 to 12 month project with Microsoft ( about two miles from our house)
He is a friend of a friend and now our friend.  His home is in Vancouver where he goes every other weekend.   He calls his wife every night !

But last week, a young friend, Danylo, came to stay with us...live with us.  He gets up, eats breakfast (no coffee ) goes to Bellevue College, then comes home for lunch and dinner.   He makes his own meals when convenient,  and yesterday, he went to class, interviewed for a job, was hired, bought some clothing to accommodate... all in one day ..then started work today 


His parents have moved to California and are starting a new job.  When the school year is over, he hopes to join them.

But for now, he is pretty much on his own.  Yes, he has eaten some meals with us, but last night, he was not hungry until 10:00 p.m.   So, he was definitely on his own. 

I want to make sure and remember ( when I look back on my journal ) so far, 5 days, and I have no complaints.  Only surprises.  Oh, and yesterday he said   " You look very nice "

enough said.

( there is sure  more to come )
