Just Another Rainy Day...

That's right, folks. Today was rainy. All day long. I didn't even get to go to the post office to mail my most recent postcards :(

But I did not let that stop me from enjoying my day! Breakfast this morning was of my own creation (thank you VERY much). It consisted of scrambled eggs w/ cheese, bacon, and french toast! The boys LOVED the french toast, and I ate up every bit of the scrambled eggs and bacon they wouldn't touch. I was in heaven. I'm sure Alwina was shocked at how much and how fast I was eating. haha After breakfast, I stripped my bed and put clean sheets on, because today was Friday - the day of cleaning! Duh... The boys' lesson today was not really a lesson at all, BUT we finished our English books "All About Me" today! Videos soon to come :)

Also, today is Wilhelm and Alwina's 11 year anniversary! But all that happened was that he brought her home flowers from work... Germany is definitely different than America in many ways. I asked Wilhelm if he and Alwina ever go out to a nice restaurant for their anniversary or do anything special, and he said they did for their 5th anniversary, but not for many others. Huh.

We played many games today such as "Go Fish" and the German version of "Sorry." I also read some more of "Emma" by Jane Austen. I'm almost done with it, and I love it. Dinner tonight was super-thin pancakes. Once again. Yummy, yummy. Or, as they would say here, "lecker." I miss our nice thick American pancakes, though. After dinner, Alwina and Elias went to church while Wilhelm, Levin, Lionel, and I took a walk down to SchiederSee. Since it rained today, the slug/schnecke count was very high - a record 65! Blech. The walk was much needed. I felt cramped being in the house all day; I was ready for some fresh air and exercise. Who am I right now?! haha

When we got home, I decided to upload some pictures onto my Facebook, because I haven't uploaded in 10 days! Hopefully tonight will be much better as far as sleeping goes. I slept well last night, but that was because of the apple/cinnamon goop I had on me. Also, tomorrow I am planning on going shopping with Sherrie Webber in Hannover all day! I can't wait! Mostly because I won't have to speak slowly in order to get my point across ;) But also because it's shopping! Hello!

More later!

PS: You know what I'm going to say. Get Your Carnations Trimmed.

PSS: Glad we were able to talk today, even if it was for a little bit. Cowboys & Aliens - definitely a must-see movie ;) You know who you are.
