What a weekend...
I feel like I got a lot done this weekend and had a real rest for a change. It's Monday, and for once I actually feel refreshed.
Friday night was Cooking Class and we made Angel Food Cake. Delicious, but it always turns out a little heavier here than back home. Not sure why.
Saturday I did some shopping, mostly for Winston :) He was throwing up for a couple days, but we noticed that he only did it after he ate the baby food or cheese. So, we cut out the dairy and he was ok. But we were giving him calcium and a crushed vitamin in the baby food and after the puking were unsure how to administer it. I finally tried mixing it in a little butter, but he immediately threw up, so that clinched it. No more dairy. I went to the pet store and got some 'cat' milk - the kind that is lactose free, and he has no problem with it. We also needed more dry food, so I got some Eucanuba Junior. He likes it, we'll see if he's allergic or not. Apparently the breeders have had problems with different brands of dry food - their puppies develop rashes and itch. And lastly, I bought one of those extendible leashes for when we go to the park so he can have a little more freedom. He really likes it.
Sunday was interesting. My church has started having breakfast together before church. It was really nice. Good fellowship. Good food :) After church, Monika and Marek called and they picked us up to go to Rogalin, a castle/park outside of Poznan (on the way visiting Figas'). It was the first time Winston was completely free since his old home at the farm. People wanted to pet him. He was in puppy paradise! In the evening Monika and Marek and Wendy came over. Pavarotti (their Yorkie) and Winston played and played, until they were both completely exhausted. We all had a good time watching and talking.
So, now it's Monday and I should be planning lessons, but I'm trying to prolong this wonderful weekend :)
Sarah, you and I must be telepathic. i just mailed off a package for you last week and a letter and yesterday at Figas' I picked one up from you :) The sisterly bond. Thanks for the name-tag-thing, it's hanging on my door :)

Can I ask for a recipe? I miss your cooking classes ;(
Hey Becky , first of all what is this blogging stuff , I must be really old when technology zooms over your head so fast that I can't even see it. Anyways this is your cousin in Canada Neal and hopefully this gets thru cyber space to you as I don't have any other email address for you . Last I have heard micheal is in Alberta, David is in Dryden ( been there to see him) and Sarah is ? still at home ?. We are still in Alma as we are old and settled down. We want to meet this fella in the pictures and can only assume that he is the "boyfriend"? As you see we are way out of date and need some fresh info to get us up to speed. Are you coming home soon ? Plan a get tpgether next time you cross the pond ?
If this isn't the best way to communicate let me Know .
