A Little Lamb’s look on life (Isaiah 40:11)

Fall semester!

October 10, 2008 at 4:12 am (This 'n that)

So the summer ended, with a big pig and a big party, and a big sigh of “why do all good things have to come to an end!?”

But although we so far have had even less time, we’ve still managed to have a lot of fun =)

Jeremy had his birthday and we surprised him by making Czech food!  (And don’t even ASK me to pronounce it ! )  It was a type of potatoe pancakes something…  Karen made a cake in two pans.  With sprinkles spelling JERE – MY.  We soon found out that it worked to switch the pans around to make “MY – JERE”  Awwww =)

Here’s the spread!  The unpronounceable pancakes, chicken, sauerkraut, spinach dip, chips, fruit salad, carrots and some other funny salad.  Mmm =)

Emily doesn’t have an apron, and unpronounceable pancakes are apparently always fried in lots and lots of oil…  Which splatters…  So we had to do what every respectable wanna-be future missionary would do.  Improvise =)  Voila la creation de Krista.  We like to call it, “l’apron stiff”!  We haven’t patented it yet, so we’re trusting that only honest people who won’t try to steal our idea ever read this blog

The creator and her willing model.

Another weekend we went for a visit to a waterfall place!

B-E-A-U-tiful British Columbia!

Krista was among those of us courageous enough to brave the cold water!

About 15 minutes after yours truly had already made her grand entrance

This is me being a fountain.  (Thanks Jeremy for the support!  Balancing on one leg on that slippery rock is harder than you’d think!)

This next picture was taken at Emily’s place at her house-warming welcome dinner.  Delicious Chinese food prepared by her awesome mother!  We even got to try “dragons eyes” a fruit that tastes almost like litchi!

These two girls in the picture below are my life-savers here in Canada: Krista and Emily.  WHAT would I do without you guys!  We wrote this poem together in commemoration of the summer session and how we were missing everybody:

…We cry ouselves to sleep,

but in class we cannot weep,

(that would disrupt our learning,

and for learning we are yearning!)

This is Emily taking a well-deserved rest that we don’t have time for

OK!  See you on the flip-side!
