It's been a Month now!

This week has been eventful!

Walked down to the beach and had a yummy English breakfast. Rosa and I walked down and found a lovely little restaurant called The Cozy Nook. It's a British restaurant with English speaking people!!! yay! The food was awesome. You could pick 6 items for you plate for 4.50. Two pieces of bacon...sooo good! They are not your regular sized pieces of bacon, much bigger. Scrabbled eggs, baked beans, and a hash brown...never tasted such a wonderful tasting hash brown before...seriously.
OK!! Have you ever heard of Black Pudding?? NO I did not try it!! I asked what it was...Blood...Humm ya..no I will pass!!!

We walked by one place called Fish Spa...in my head I was like...really I am not sure your pet fish really needs any pampering. But then Rosa said she wanted to show me this place. OK I was wrong. You put your feet in these fish tanks...and these little fish give you a pedicure. It's like 10.00 for 10 or 20 min. Hummm...I might be brave one of this days and try it...don't worry there will be pictures!!!

This week we started homeschooling!!! So far so good it is going great. Lots of prep work but the kids are doing great. Yesterday after just the second day I hear Jonathan as he was going potty...yes he was singing his bible verse!!! Praise the Lord...it's sticking. Also when they came home from going out for Chinese food, Rosa said that the kids were saying this at the restaurant table, Sticky, Sticky Bubble Gum (it's a catchy little song with actions).

Funny story!! Sure had a good laugh about it...this is Rosa's facebook statue about it.
"The kids have been "other people" recently. Today Sierra announces she's Mom and Jonathan announces he is Daddy. So we are leaving the house and in the elevator to the car I look over at them and they are kissing! Then Michael says "I'm Daddy too...and leans over and kisses Sierra." Ha, the things Kids pick up.

I laughed and told them they need to leave the kissing in the family. We were on our way to our first day of "homeschooling" with a friend and I could just imagine Sierra smooching with Peter who is also in our home school class."


So when I first got here they asked me what I was like to be called. Sarah was good...but it sounds too much like Sierra and it would be confusing at times. So I could be Aunt Sarah...but I thought a minute. Back home in Canada I am "Miss Sarah" to a couple of dear families. So that's what I am here now!!! :) So as we were preparing the homeschooling the kids asked if I was going to be their teacher and I said yes. So my name is getting longer by the day...sometimes I am "Miss Sarah Teacher".

One thing that I noticed about Spain. When I was down at the beach the other day. Southern Spain is like the "Florida" of Europe. Lots of "snow birds". I sat on a bench...and people watched for a bit...you hear so many languages as they walk by.

Today is Valentine's Day. David & Rosa are so sweet! They got me a little thing of chocolates and potted flower plant with little purple and flowers. I bought a Spanish style pot a while back...I think I will transfer it into that.

For those of you that I know are praying. A couple of things would be... My cold...it kinda went away and then it came back...I am hoping I am at the tail end of it now. Also my Grandma passed away just before I left for Spain...so I was having a bit of a rough day the other day.
