I was spoilt absolutely ROTTEN today! Katharina told me a few days back that she wanted to book me for this morning – and that she was going to organise what we were going to do. At 9:30 I was ushered into the dining room, where her and Kathrin had set up the most unbelievable breakfast! There was scrambled eggs, toast, tomatoes, mushrooms, turkey bacon, blueberry muffins, amazing jam, coffee, orange juice... BEST breakfast I’ve had in aaaaages! I was completely overwhelmed. And then I found out that there was still more to come... MK came to pick us up, and we set off to Greensboro to do some shopping. And then Katharina bought me two beautiful new skirts! I don’t think I’ve ever had a friend do anything like that for me before! I really was close to tears for most of the morning.

As soon as we got back from that, I joined the music collective who were meeting in the worship room. We’re doing more rehearsing for the song we’re going to record together. It’s a BEAUTIFUL song that Hannah wrote, and when she first played it to us all, we all got SUPER excited. We all started hearing parts we could each play, and wanting to get involved straight away! So today we were mapping out different sections, and figuring out what works where. After that, Nathan, Camryn and I went to Cookout (where I had my first corn dog! They’re pretty good!) and then Walmart. I had to exchange some yoghurt for Mary, which turned into more of a mission than I had imagined it’d be. I ended up running up and down Walmart – which is NOT small! But it turned out to be a good thing... on one of my runs past the teller I had been at earlier, she chased me down to give me half of the stuff I had already paid for – but accidentally left behind! Funny how that could seem like an annoyance can actually turn out to be to our benefit... :o)

After supper, a few of us headed out on a quest to find ice-cream, so I got to visit Ben&Jerry’s for the first time. GOOD STUFF, yum yum! When we got back, we played some cards. What a full and happy day!
