This summer finds many expat families moving back to the U.S. or moving on to their next international destination. Our good friends Buddy and Jody are retiring in Mexico, and Keith and Dianne are moving back home to Seattle. We have such a fun group of friends to hang out with, and will miss them terribly. Buddy and Jody hosted a party so that we could all be together one last time. Of course the Singapore Sling was the cocktail of choice for the welcome drink! We all emptied our liquor cabinets (can't ship liquor back!) and had quite the party! Saying goodbye is hard, but as my friend Kate quoted, "Don't be sad because it's over; smile because it happened".
