Meet Lucille!

Don and I have a new hobby of taking in the boys' friends whenever they need a temporary home. This summer we had the pleasure of Tiffany's company, and this Christmas we are hosting Lucille.

Lucille is a foreign exchange student from France who is staying with our friends in Bellingham. The Cutlers had a Christmas trip to Spain planned before they decided to host an exchange student, so Lucille came to them knowing she would be staying somewhere else during the Christmas break. Nathan and Dylan have gotten to know her through Alex Cutler, and they asked if she could stay here during part of the break. We thought it would be a great way to have the experience of hosting a foreign exchange student without making a long commitment.


Lucille is a lovely 18-year-old who speaks English and Spanish! Tonight at dinner we played "telephone" with a twist: I told Lucille something in Spanish and then she translated it to French and then Dylan translated it into English! It was a hoot and we were all able to practice our second languages.


Lucille will be with us for a week or so.
