Today was the first time since returning from Indonesia that I admitted that Canada was warm. Happy second day of summer! And I celebrated this by going in the pool for the first time this year, and drinking my last Ugandan Alvaro!

Not overly exciting. Today I started reading a new book. I should more often.. I miss it.

Ok, ready? Here goes: I willingly, purposefully, and even deliberately swallowed a pill (Ibuprofen) just to ease a minor headache! I know, right?!! I have truly never done that before! (usually I just deal with it or go to bed.) All of this world travelling and mandatory malarone-taking has really impacted the way I see drugs.. look out world!

SNE. some new Costco-related things: I spent half an hour trying to get 300ish pictures printed, it wasn't supposed to take that long! Then we bought a new asian stirfry mix and some interesting new milkshake-powder-stuff that's "just add water". interesting. it wasn't actually too bad..

Today I FINALLY finished uploading all my Indonesia pictures and spent hours rearranging them because facebook put them in an illogical order... Now officially ready for viewing! https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151497468428879.1073741825.509313878&type=3

Something New Everyday. A few things actually: we ran out of vanilla icecream (my fault) so I tried Moosetracks on my rhubarb crisp.. not a fan. We also gave some of the rabbits free reign in the yard today and were quite surprised to see Eeyore frolicking like a puppy! He even came when we called him! Lastly, we also headed the weather channel's warning for the first time ever, and moves our board game downstairs to avoid the tornado... Which was actually just rain and hail for about 10 minutes... lots of new! Oh, and Happy Father's day!

My parents were out today so I decided to clean up the kitchen a bit, but my mom has all these fancy cloths and sweepers and chemicals and I didn't know which to use. So I ended up the wrong soapy substance and having to wash the floor multiple times to get the suds out. Something new I don't plan on repeating! ;)

SNE. Aujourd'hui I did lots of crafting. I worked on some more Batik-style artwork..BUT it was raining outside. So, in order to hang them up to dry, I put them on our clothes rack, under an umbrella. Lol, never done that before!

Today's Something New involved animals. We finally chose a name for the new bunny: Domino, and I left her unattended on my carpeted floor for 10 minutes (don't tell the parents!) Also, bahaha, I saw a bird running through the grass and then trip and fall down. That's the real highlight of my day!

I joined the ladies of former Emmanuel Church for their monthly meeting for the first time today. it also happened to be the last meeting until Fall.. and more of a lunch buffet than a meeting...

Today I had a few wonderful 'meetings'. Enjoyed lunch with Kaitlyn Cowperthwaite, then surprised Emily Brix during recess. I joined Britt Vos as she sahred about her Uganda trip with a class full of grade twos. Never done any of that before! :)

Today, my first ever adult baptism service, congrats Malcolm! Also went to a bbq dinner with a very last minute invite from someone other than the host...

SNE. We have a new member of the family today. Sold 5 rabbits at the market and brought home a lovely black-and-white doe! Also made a new friend at the market, a little boy who bought and showed me his two ducklings: Rosebud and Max.

Taking Robin's advice from yesterday's post I tried out a new dye today. I boiled onion and garlic skins to make a yellow dye for my painting, it worked quite well! Also started watching the new tv series Hannibal today. Interesting.

Something new everyday. Today I tried making some classic Batik-style artwork based on the paintings I saw in Indonesia and Uganda. This is step one: sketching and wax on white fabric. I'm trying to find dyes that won't wash out in water, what do you think is better: acrylic paint, fabric marker, or mustard?

SNE. Today I invented a new rabbit cage by attaching two top-halves of cages together resulting in one spacious, 4-door, easy grass access pen. Lovely. Also mailed a letter at quarter after eleven in the evening. Never done that before..

Something New Everyday: a series of free movies.
The story begins on Christmas eve 2012. My parents took my siblings and I to see The Hobbit, my dad's treat. During the previews the movie turned pink and then stopped playing, so we got apologies from the staff and 2 free tickets each. We went back the next day to see The Hobbit for 'free'. My second ticket finally got it's use today when I went to see Star Trek with Allison Branch and Frietzen VanderMeulen. Halfway during the movie the video cut out, got fixed, cut out, got fixed, and then cut out again. We were given apologies from the staff and 2 free tickets each. We had dinner in the mall and then went to watch Now You See Me (which, by the way, is an EXCELLENT movie!). I have still have free tickets.. what should I see next?
Monday June 3
Committing to memorizing some new bible verses, not that I haven't done that before, but there are obviously many verses I've never attempted memorizing before. To start: Colossians 2:13-23, which holds many concepts that counter our culture's views of Christianity.
For example, verse 16: "And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross". Quite logical and profound to the Christian, quite the opposite to the unbeliever..

SNE. Today we met some new neighbours. A lady and her 3-yr peeked through the bushes at our campfire and then we invited them in to see the bunnies. It's a good thing I have rabbits.. it's hard to make friends and meet the neighbours without them.. ;)

Something New Everyday. Today is the first time we've made more than $500 at a garage sale! Thanks so much to all the neighbours who helped with this fundraiser for my mission trip to Uganda!!
