We always think: It can’t be better than this!

Every Exchange seems to be even more fun than the last, but we know it’s just because we enjoy each new friend we meet through FFNI, and the more the merrier.

This was a domestic Exchange, meaning within the USA — it’s a great way to get know members in other states and find out more about their lives.

We had super hosts—who could ask for anything more? Their lovely home was surrounded by a garden just as beautiful as our hosts were. We soon learned that they had traveled all over the world, but when Dianne brought out a few of her many albums, we were astonished!

Each one was a gorgeous, wonderfully detailed work of art. We exclaimed as we marveled at each page:  “Everybody should see these albums. We think FFI and the whole world should know about them.”

We could see that Mike (Dianne's husband) was proud of her work, too.

The Cedar Rapids/Iowa City Friendship Force treated us to a busy, happy Exchange.  We can’t wait to plan their visit to The Friendship Force of Northern Illinois soon.
