It has been another full week, and the days just seem to fly by. I still have so much to learn. As some of you already know, I dealt with spiders and mice this week, but I´ve come up with a system for dealing with it. First of all, I asked the girls to please not leave food for the dogs anywhere near my room and I am straying my bathroom daily with RAID. That seem to have solved the problem. We had extra ballet lessons this week, as the girls are preparing for a recital. I can´t wait to see it. Today I worked for several hours in the rose garden and it looks great. The girls helped me and one little girl, ten-year old Elaina, worked so hard beside me she had blisters. I felt bad, but she seemed to think nothing of it and kept right on working. I cut a rose for my room everyday and have started putting one in our little dining room table as well. I´m in flower heaven. Anna, thevolunteer from Germany and I, are also working on clearing out an overgrown area where we can plant a few thing of our own. We work hard here, but it feels so good just to move again and not be stuck behind a desk all day. I wash all my cloths by hand and washed my sheets today. It´s so wonderful to smell the sun in my sheets again and reminds me of my childhood. Before I came, I thought I might pay someone to do my laundry, but once I got here, somehow it just didn´t feel right. It´s actually a great time for socializing and I enjoy it. Tomorrow is our day of rest and it´s really honored here. There will also be no cars or buses on the road, as they have several clean air days here a year. It´s a great idea. Well, I´ll close for now. I´m still having problems with pictures...long story, so I was only able to post the one. Until next time...
