I'm back...

We made it back in one piece. (all right, two pieces: me and Mama). I'm tired, but happy to be home. It's amazing how tiring sitting in a car can be, yes? Anyway:

On the last day that we were there, my aunt and uncle from Holland (I have a lot of relatives in Holland) came to my grandparents house. I found it so cool to listen to my grandparents and my aunt and uncle speak in Dutch, even though I couldn't understand a word they said!

On the way back to our place, we spent the night at my aunt's house. She's gotten a new puppy named Gracey. She is so cute! She's a 15 week old fuzzy ball of energy.

And then when we got home, my dog gave us an ear-full for leaving him for a week. My dad was with him, but he doesn't like it when people go away.

quick little post

I'm writing this from my grandparents house in Castlegar. Yup, I'm on a trip. :) But the annoying thing was that I got sick the day I got here! meh. But I'm almost better now.

But I'm surprised at how HOT it is here! The first day we were here, it was 32 celsius! It's been a tad cooler these last few days, but not by very much.

Anyway.

Chickens.... someone, help! :P

OH MY GOSH, we have a chicken drama on our hands. OK, this is what I mean. We are trying to get our chickens to hatch some eggs. So, we got some eggs from our friends, stuck them under the chickens, and waited to see what would happen. Well, a lot did happen. First of all, the chickens couldn't decide who should have the eggs. We finally split the eggs up among the chickens, so each got 1 or 2. Everything was going fine, until of the eggs mysteriously disappeared. We had no idea where on earth that egg had got to. Since we couldn't find it, and the chickens weren't hurt, we decided to leave it. Then one of the eggs BROKE. We think that the chickens were fighting over the eggs, and one got cracked... at least, that was the only thing we could think of.

So, I have no idea what is going to happen with the eggs, or if they will ever hatch. We will just have to wait and see.

classes ending and puppies :)

Almost my classes are done: fiddle orchestra, string orchestra, and choir are all finished. (My violin are archery lessons are still happening). It feels great to have all this free time, but at the same time, it's kind of sad, because I like my classes. But one thing I'm really happy about is all my concerts are done!! My last one, a choir concert, was on the first day of the month. All I have left is my violin recital on the 18, which I don't really consider a concert. It's still a performance, though.

The other interesting thing that happened was I saw a litter of 9 adorable 7 week old puppies!!! Someone we know is fostering them and their mom. The mom, called Chloe, is a sweetie, and the puppies are wriggling balls of joy. They are such DARLINGS!!!!

Ah, well, that's about it.....
Peace
