Thanks .... I think

Last weekend (14th) we were having lunch at the Kilbirnie Corps Officers home after church. Cheryl was at the Women's conference and Peter was left to play host..... At the end of the meal I asked Emily if she had enjoyed her lunch and she said that she had and so I asked her 'What do you say to Peter?" and she looked at me then turned to Peter, raised one eyebrow and with a most serious face said "Coffee?" Now that was not the words that I was looking for but it did make us laugh.

Appointments

Well it is finally official. The appointments are out and Perry and I have been appointed as Corps Officers Westport Corps...... Westport is a small town on the west coast of the South Island. We are really looking forward to the new challenge and putting to use all the things that we have been learning for the past two years at college and all the things that we learned before that at East City Corps.

Holiday Antics

We had an amusing day during the school holidays where I was at home on my own while Perry was at the main building doing some study or something and the three 3year old girls from campus (all blonde might I add) where in Emily’s bedroom playing and they were just playing so nicely. I could here them discussing who was being what part of their mum’s and dad’s role play and I was doing some of the required reading that we must do for each class.

The girls had spent the better part of the day changing clothes and wearing all sorts of different outfits including pj’s, swimming togs and normal clothes…. Perry walks in and wants to know what the strong smell was. Well I couldn’t initially smell it but when we opened the bedroom door we discovered three little naked girls who had got into Christina’s girly drawer and found an unopened talc bottle and had proceeded to empty the whole thing on the floor and themselves. They had rubbed it on their bodies, the floor and even each others back. They were covered from head to toe in talcum powder and on closer inspection it seemed that at least one of them had turned up at our house naked… Maybe…..

I phoned the respective parents who happened to be all in the one house and they came over to have a good laugh at our three little princesses. Needless to say it was all three in the bath to wash off the lovely smell….. We did find each child’s respective clothing in the end but it took a while to sort it all out.

Sue did make a quick trip home to see what damage they had done at their home as it was unlocked and an open invitation to destroy or otherwise rearrange. Lucky for her other than some relocation of clothes from drawers to the floor there was no permanent damage done.
