Friday after work I was supposed to pop down to Rebecca’s place in my car to visit and stitch with her this weekend.  Unfortunately my car was making a rather unfriendly noise and Todd felt it wasn’t best for me to make the 2 hour drive.  We think the bearing on the driver’s side needs replacing, the car is going into the shop on Tuesday.  So I’ve been stitching by myself today.

Stitching By Myself

Today I received a lovely surprise when I picked up the mail!  There was this little, squishy envelope.  At first I was puzzled, I wasn’t expecting anything, let alone something squishy!  Then I saw on the back it was from Julie in the UK.  Could it be?  Am I this lucky? YES! I want everyone to say hello to Matilda!  She came all the way across the pond to live here in Canada with me, Todd,

Wonderful Surprise!

This week was a write-off activity wise, I’ve not gone to the gym, Taekwon-Do, for a run or even a walk this week.  My cold kinda knocked me on my ass for a few days.  I finally had to take a sick day on Tuesday, as I didn’t have a voice by the end of the work day Monday.  I am feeling better but I’m still tired, instead of wearing myself down further I’m giving my body time to get better.

Happy Easter to all my blog readers! It was another gorgeous day here in the Ottawa Valley, so Todd and I took full advantage of that going for a 9k walk on the Trans-Canada Trail.  We’re very lucky in that its not too far from our home (just a 5 minute drive), but its somethign we don’t take advantage of.  Today we did, and walked one section of the trail 4.5k in one direction then 4.5k back,

Friday March 12, 2010 Today was our true “fun in the sun” day!  Our Dominican families packed a lunch for us, we hopped on Wally’s bus and we went to a public beach one used by the Dominicans not owned by a resort.  It was absolutely gorgeous!  White sandy beaches, azure waters, and palm trees.  There was a fantastic sea breeze, we never felt too hot!  The water was just pefrect, not cold but

Thursday March 11, 2010 Today was the day many of us were looking forward to (besides our trip on Friday), our day at the orphanage.  It was another early start for us, with a breakfast of ham and cheese sandwitches (again!) with ketchup and a side of cantaloupe.  It was an early start because they had physical labour in mind for us and it was best to get it done in the early hours of the day.

Dominican Experience Day 6

Wednesday March 10, 2010 Today wasn’t a super early start, which was nice but I find myself often up by 6:30am (what’s up with that, considering the DR is an hour ahead).  Despite haivng a good nights sleep, I’m still pretty tired today. As been our pattern these past few days it was another day on the bus with our fantastic driver, Wally.  He’s been our driver since Tuesday and he’s got a nice
