A Foreign Place

Every time we come back to the States, it is more and more obvious to John and me that this is not where we live.  Here's one recent example for you:

I went grocery shopping at ALDI yesterday morning for my mom-in-law.  The total was $19.10.  So I gave her a twenty dollar bill and a dime, a little bummed that now I was going to have 4 quarters to carry around in my wallet since there's no such thing as a loonie south of the border.  Then she handed me a ONE DOLLAR BILL and for a second there I was just shocked.  Oh yeah!  There are one dollar bills here!  I had totally forgotten.
