I feel bad for not doing an update in a while. But I have good excuse...really!!! Well that cold that kept on sticking around. It got worse and I knew it was time to find a doctor. Praise the Lord for an English speaking doctor from the Netherlands. The receptionist was really sweet too...soo very friendly and spoke great English. And I have never come across a doctor with amazing bed side manners...well I was not at the hospital in a bed...just in a little clinic. But he said "you are sick"...hahah well I kinda knew that :)!!!! But what's wrong? :) He said I have some bronchitis/pneumonia. Wonderful!!!! So I have been on medication for almost a week...and it seems to be working. I think it might take a bit for the cough to go. My ribs and back are a bit sore from the coughing. I am actually getting pretty well a full nights sleep now! Praise the Lord!!
OK so I was sitting at the doctors office waiting room. I was looking at some of the poster/pictures around the small room. Nothing in English...but this little picture and words on it...it made me giggle a little.
It said:
Wife: What'cha goin to do today?
Husband: Nothin much
Wife: That's what you did yesterday
Husband: I wasn't finished!
Last Sunday I was heading out the door to go to church. I have about a 7-8 minute walk to the train. I was getting picked up about 3 stations over by a dear older couple that I have gotten to know and love. Anyway! as I was trying to get out the door...both little boys did not want me to leave but if I had to go they wanted to come with me. Awww!!!! Then as I walked out the main door of the building and started walking to the main gate to the apartment....All three kids were standing on the balcony yelling...yes yelling! "Miss Sarah come back here, you can't go"!! I just waved and said Love you and I will be back later; see you soon!! Love these kids :)
Food...ok so I tasted two different Bratwurst in the past week. Not bad!! Kinda like a healthy hotdog :) if there is such a thing! Also when I was at the grocery store I picked up some cheese called "Camembert". I looked it up on the Internet. Apparently it is cheese from France. I will let you look it up. It's not to bad...I'm just not sure I would buy a whole bunch of it next time though.
Yesterday after supper I asked David (triplets dad) why when they set the table at every evening meal they put a fork and a spoon...I seriously had no idea what to use it for...especially when it's not usually a soup. So apparently it's a custom in the Philippians to push the rice with the fork into the spoon. Rosa (triplets mom) lived in the Philippians for a few years...so they picked up this custom as a family.
Hey! guess what? In Spain it does not just rain in the plain....it rained a couple of days this week.
For those of you who normally play board games. I am not much of a board game person...but I played Settlers for my first time. Not bad. I will have to get these people playing some Dutch Blitz and Mennonite madness! ;)
