We are asked this question of forever too, but only after the time of polite getting to know you is over [although I have no idea what that time frame is]. Slovenes seem honestly surprised that we would want to leave the "gigantic" USA for tiny Slovenija but their amazement is said through great pride that we have "chosen" them.kay raplenovichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09989394926756924456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794848592364507915.post-39875332672856977982010-03-03T18:31:19.834+01:002010-03-03T18:31:19.834+01:00Yes, we should Angelica.Yes, we should Angelica.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08152290714490453471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794848592364507915.post-57111902749296048882010-03-01T19:03:39.565+01:002010-03-01T19:03:39.565+01:00Oh boy, don't I know what you mean.

I found it...I got asked this before I left the US. I found it uncomfortable too. Two thoughts flashed through my mind, the first is that nothing is "forever". That word caused me a lot of angst in my life. Forever may exist but not in our limited view of the universe. Next, I just moved here and don't know what the future holds. When we bought our farm 20 years ago, I thought that was going to be "forever". Things change, but mostly, we change. So how do I answer without spewing all that? I said, I dunno, haven't even left yet...<br />Now I'm going to have to come up with another answer. I think I'll say "se tutto va bene".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
