Bringing Home Walter

horray for working internet again. : ) Actually, it's been a few days, but i haven't had time to update....well, yesterday i was just too lazy to come to the camp. Things are going well here. Aimee came out a week after i got here(oh what a long lonely week, without internet, long distance or reg. t.v.) and we worked the first weekend rental group cooking and vacuuming. It went quite well. We're getting along well, and in place of arguing we only seem to get giddy/giggly. Basically i don't think we should stay out here for too long of stretch alone haha.
The weather has been beautiful since Sat. though usually somewhat windy, but it's not snowing or raining so hey. Our work right now is pretty laid back. We have our first camp this coming weekend(May long) which is a 4 day family camp. We had to plan stuff for whole families as well as separate adult and kid stuff. I think the planning has gone really well and that we'll be ready by Friday which is great. : )
I think the country is growing on me....not literally....though it is tick season and i'm still rather paranoid.(no i didn't take the tick repellent advice from a few 'wise' friends of wearing underwear over pants. ; ) ) I've come to really appreciate the lack of city noise. Not that it's quiet out here...i didn't realize how LOUD it was in the country! haha. so many noises...but it's i dunno....just beautiful. I plan to sit on the deck by the lake this aft. as well. Hmmm...maybe i'm not missing dressing nice and repeating myself to kids all day....
We eat our suppers at a couples house less then a 5 minute drive from our trailer. They offered to the director to do this, and it's going a lot better then i thought it would. The couple is wonderful. She likes to play games(YAY! heehee) We played Phase 10 the other nite and even though she can't remember my name....she still smaked me when i went out haha.

I did indeed finally by my fish. Though instead of the planned fantail goldfish...it turned into a third beta fighting fish. Driving back from Regina, i decided that he really wasn't a Ziggy like originally planned....so behold i now have a fish named Walter.

One final thought....i'm still trying to wrap my thoughts about this crazy thing country people don't do--lock doors!! Our trailer house doesn't have a key seeing as how it's never been locked haha...and Isabelle(the supper lady) said we could come over while they're gone for 10 days to watch tv or eat....again, this intrigues me. I am slowly getting used to things. : ) Oh city girl.
