I have earned these certificates in the last three months. The first is a basic review of what I learned in class. The second one is learning how to run a restaurant.
Chef Pica sent a link a few months ago saying if we were interested in earning some free online training, to look at these courses. I only did the two.
Now to start studying again for my servsafe certificate.
We all got to go to Patmos for two weekend retreats. We stayed the week in between also. We got to play with friends a lot.
We looked for sea glass. We found quite a bit. I found a piece with an “A” on it.
Auntie Kristi asked to borrow it before we left for home. She had it made into a necklace for me. I really like it because it is unique and very pretty. Thank you very much Auntie Kristi.
Today Audrey had some butterflies she let me release. I had fun releasing them with a little help.
Being able to go to camp Patmos to help this summer was a lot of fun.
First, I had to learn how to fill out an application. It was okay, but a little challenging. The next one will be a lot easier.
Then I got to learn how to work in the kitchen during staff training. I stayed the first week of camp to help.
Here are some pictures of when I was heading home. I will post more when I have the chance.
P.S. I would really like to go help again soon.
Andrea is getting to help in the kitchen at Camp Patmos. She has been so excited about what she will learn and the people she will get to know better!
She is not sure exactly what all she will be doing, but so far she has helped in the kitchen during a marriage retreat, been photographer for a few hours, watched while a wedding cake was decorated, and played with small children.
Andrea is looking forward to new challenges and being able to share her beautiful smile!
We entered the Elkhart County Parks Photo Contest again this year. I put in seven pictures. It is my last year that I can submit pictures in the “youth” division.
Photos will be displayed at the Elkhart County Historical Museum (304 W. Vistula Street in Bristol, IN) from 10:00, 20 Jan thru closing on Friday the 26th. It looks like the hours are 9:00 am – 5:00 pm Tuesday through Saturday.
We plan to go Saturday morning. Maybe I will see you there!
Momma and I saw a picture like this and I thought it would be a good birthday picture. I like this picture because I like soccer and to dress up.
Rey was born yesterday. She was a nice Easter surprise. She was 10 pounds. Rey is the smallest baby alpaca born at the neighbors. She likes sticking out her tongue. She is adorable. 
The newest alpaca, at this time, was born this afternoon. It’s a girl! She has LONG ears. She is a rosy brown. We met her when she was a few minutes old.
We are waiting for one more. We hope it comes tomorrow, so we have three in a row 🙂
Megan is the guest speaker today.
The neighbors had their first alpaca for this year. The new alpaca is little and cute. It is white with a pink nose. And it is soft. It likes me. I like it too. It so cute. It is princess Leah’s first baby. Everyone held it. Andrea take a picture of me. The alpaca’s name is Kit (Fisto). We think we should call it Kitten. We saw him this afternoon. We had fun playing with it. Momma didn’t hold it.
