My Wednesday ended in a wonderful way! I had spent some of the day with Vernon and then in the evening we had a family time! I had splurged and bought a bag of Cheetos and saved them for the evening when we could all sit down together and munch! After supper was over and cleaned up, and emails checked, we went over to the house and decided to play settlers. The only problem was that Sharon owns the game and it was stashed up in one of the kitchen cupboards. Jody and Jeana got a bright idea to sneak over to the kitchen and get the game. They included Jared and made a game out of it. I was watching from the roof and it was so funny to see them creeping through the shadows and into the kitchen to grab the game and I guess they decided to steal the candy jar as well. So we had a lively game of Settlers and crunched on our Cheetos and then they crept out the door, through the workshop, down the hall and past the rooms, into the kitchen to put the game back. The sneaking was a bit noisier than earlier. I kept hearing a loud shhhh! It was a good ending to our day. Today we woke up to the most beautiful clear morning and a breakfast of waffles and blackberries! Some of our guests headed up to El Chal and I kept busy doing laundry and cleaning and the day flew by. I made a stir fry for supper tonight and I was impressed with how good it was! :) There were lots of different veggies, guisquiel, broccoli, snow peas, carrots, celery, peppers,cabbage and steak( a tough missionary budget steak) and the sauce had lots of ginger and other good stuff in it.
Jared caught a live roach and fed it to 'the' spider and the boys came running to drag me over to watch! They were enthralled with the way the spider ran after the roach and then they were thrilled that they even heard a crunch when he ate it! I am grossing out just thinking about it. Today Jodys class played capture the flag and it was so amusing to watch. There was such tension and leaping and running and yelling and laughing. We are learning to keep an eye out for small people charging around corners. So far none of us have been run over, though there have been a few close calls. What did I learn today? Well, if you have a tile shower, and it has water marks and build up of whatever, take some Axion, a green scrubbie and a small piece of fine sandpaper. Combine that with some elbow grease and you will have a sparkling clean shower with glossy tiles! Now to use this on our shower that must be about 35 years old!.... tomorrow.....
