Nicole Wilson shares her humorous misadventures as she moved from Duesseldorf, Germany, to the Seattle area.

She was accustomed to the sophisticated ways of living in a German city but found herself transformed from a city girl with a 9 to 5 office job to a country girl, raising horses and planting a garden. There were numerous adjustments along the way. Life in America seemed like a continuous, hilarious and adventurous learning experience. Wilson dealt with the blending and clashing of cultures. Overcoming language barriers was probably her most difficult adjustment. But she saw the humor and necessity in learning the slang, sayings, idioms and words that are not in any dictionary.

There seems, however, that there is no minimum age for training to begin, and if angels can appreciate human traits, they might have approved of Granddads influence on Rowennas younger years. Her first true conversation with a heavenly being might have been the time when when she was in the top of a massive oak tree picking muscadine grapes but it was certainly not the last time.
