It's been a long 2 days!

Not much has happened the past few days except work. We had our typical morning runs around the house to see what needed fixing and where new decorations should be placed. We discovered that there were many new pictures to be framed and stored. We had a few holes to cover up with nice photos and that was about it. Then I helped with some bowling. They loved it! I was a little exhausted because the rainy weather always seems to drain my energy. To say the least, my bowling time was cut in half! My Tante Lisa picked me up and we went to the other Seniorenhaus about 15 minutes away in the mountains to look at their decorations. We took so much back and also got the CD with all of my photos from the concerts! FINALLY!

We made it back to the Buche in Konz and started organizing and putting things away. By the time that was nearly finished, it was lunch! So yummy! There was seasoned chicken with potatoes and Kuag. It's basically delicious sour cream with spices. After lunch we had our usual break and celebrated Irmgard's last day of work so there was yummy finger food and real champagne! We filled something like 20 picture frames and have more to do tomorrow! I also messed around in the costume closet and found a really pretty dress :P

Wednesday was really relaxed. They didn't need us on Wednesday so they gave me the week off. The party is all planned and everything else is all set, so they don't really need me! So this morning we went nordic walking then a little bit of shopping. We went to Mobel Martin and then to the city. I was inspired by some of the designs and know exactly how I'm going to decorate the new room at home! I also bought a new pair of shoes. Retail therapy is truly a cure for anything and everything. Even if you're a guy, you should totally try it out. Buy some tools or something and build a house! Or whatever manly men do these days! We figured out that I've been here for 5 weeks and bought 5 pairs of shoes. If I stayed any longer I would need 3 suitcases! I have an insane amount of silly postcards and other miscellaneous presents for some wonderful people! SO BRACE YOURSELVES WONDERFUL PEOPLE! But we made the most delicious couscous salad for dinner and I had REAL mint tea. It was awesome :)

We got back and I started writing some of intern credit stuff. It sounds a little boring, but it makes me reflect on everything I've done. It is really eye opening to the good that is being in the Buche and how much effort is put into an awesome chain of nursing homes! Service and happiness is really the best thing in the world!

We also saw a hot air balloon today! It was landing in Oberemmel. That was sweet and you could her the puff of the fire. SO AWESOME!


 Oh and I forgot to show you but this is the summer decoration we made! It's all about travel :)

I won't be able to blog for the next 4 days because I'll be in Heidelberg for the weekend at the university. So there's going to be lots of parties and lots of fun! They are my last few days here and I cannot wait to tell you how the trip finishes up!

Much love and thanks for reading :)
