Spring Break
I spent my spring break mostly at home. My parents and my aunt/uncle already have canceled two vacations because of my grandmother's illness so we all thought it would be better if I spent my break either close to home or in West Virginia.
Grandma just got moved to a new nursing home. My Aunt who hasn't lived in the U.S. in the past 10 years sent us directions - "Take the highway into West Virginia. Exit the highway immediately after crossing the river. Turn right off the exit ramp. You'll go under the highway then turn right as if you were re-entering the highway but make an immediate left at the large white house."
Now I am all for people giving directions using landmarks. It is a significantly easier to find a large white house than a street name, but how many corners in the world have large white houses versus this...
Seriously, there isn't too many places to make a right hand turn next to the World's Largest Teapot.
Don't worry plans are already underway to repair the roof (I guess "lid" is the more correct term) and to bring the creamer from the city building to the proper home next to the teapot. My only question is - Where is the sugar container to go with the creamer and teapot?
