Amiee the Admirable Scampers around Ukraine

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Amiee. She was quite lovely with golden hair and extremely straight teeth. Throughout her life, she embarked on many fabulous adventures but none was so great as her adventure to the land of Ukraine.

Whilst in Ukraine, Amiee charmed the locals with those extremely straight teeth and the bubbly personality. She participated quite valiantly in many activities: child wrangling at the tuberculosis orphanage (never fear, her courageous pediatrician father will ensure that she is tested for tb upon her arrival at home), interference-running at English class (when Erin has to change the lesson on the fly due to an entirely new group of students...no prior warning from the administration), slave labor (cutting, glueing, sorting, washing dishes, holding various and sundry items, paying the money collector on buses), periodic emotional support (occasionally the sister-who-shall-not-be-named needs reassurance), toting (groceries have to be transported somehow), frisbee and ball thrower, and last but definitely not least trash-taking-out.

She won the hearts of everyone, and everyone totally loved her. Especially her sister. It will be a very sad day indeed when Amiee moves on from Ukraine in search of other adventures elsewhere (aka Alabama).




Love you, Amiee!
