Car washing

whew, exhausting morning!
First I cooked oatmeal for breakfast, then cleaning up the kitchen.
Just when I was done with that I was asked to help with cleaning the truck (GMC Sierra) first I was to clean the inside, then polish the chrome, and at last to wax the whole thing! Well, I was just to apply it to most of the truck and the owner removed it again, but still plenty of work, I tell you!

an afternoon at a water park

Today is the 2nd birthday of one of the kids I am taking care of and because of that I baked a cake (Sachertorte) and we went to a water park to celebrate the birthday. I ended up getting involved in several water fights with water guns. Unbelievable how tiring that can be! running around watching out and getting all wet!most people running about the water park were kides up to maybe 13 or 14 years old and a few adults...The kids just loved fighting us adults! They did not get enough of it!

The pic of me and Josh Ritter


Image hosted by Photobucket.com



alright I admit it, I am glad of having this picture, hehehe, I wanted to share it...

Sunday was my first full day away from the family here since I got here and it was one of the best days I could think of! I found someone who sold me a ticket only 20 minutes after I got to the site. When I got in the day had just begun and I went to see one performance after another, just taken away by all these great people. I just wished I had had all 4 days to spend there! *sigh* but I guess I have to make the best of what I've got. And I think that I did. How many people get to talk to Josh Ritter in person and get to pictures of themselves with him? I know I am getting kinda silly here now, he is a great songwriter and singer and a wonderful person to talk to too!
I will try to post some of the pictures I took there as soon as possible, it is just not easy to upload pictures using dial up internet:-(

Edmonton Folk Music Festival

I had a wonderful Sunday at the Edmonton Folk Fest yesterday. It was a beautiful sunny day, the music was great, so were the people and the atmosphere. I got to see The Johnny Clegg Band and Ryan Adams, John Prine and Allison Krauss and Union Station and Josh Ritter, who is an amazing song writer!
Will tell you more later on, all I can say right now is that I got quite a sunburn, lol
