Some thoughts

It seems that each new week here brings a whole different set of experiences. Ok, so that seems probably pretty obvious but really, it's true. Work finally slowed down last Tuesday after a crazy week before with a humongous order that was stressful to get finished. The fun thing is that I got to see the house with all of the furniture in it. It's looks like a magazine. Even though I don't do any actual upholstering I still feel proud of the quality of work that comes out of the shop. All of the workers are hard-working. They are also helping practice my spanish. It's a fun environment and I'm going to miss them all. I only have this week and then Mon and Tues of next week. 

I've been able to hang out with my boss' oldest and youngest daughters quite a bit lately. They're so much fun and I'm sad that she was gone for two weeks when I was here. We get along great and would be good friends if I were able to stay here. Hopefully we can keep up the friendship. Praying for that at least. 

Here's a list of new things that I've learned to like to eat in California:

Coffee

Sour cream

Chile pepper on fruit

Peanut butter and ground cinnamon oatmeal

fish tacos from Wahoo's 

mango smoothies with lychee 

And a few I don' t like:

annoying bumpy things on the road that divide the lanes

boba (tapioca balls at the bottoms of smoothies...)

And some things I wasn't expecting:

cold nights and mornings

needing a jacket at the beach in the middle of July

Oh yeah, for work, I also went to this cool house to pick up some outdoor seat cushions. It was sweet! It was all single room width in a U shape with a pool in the middle. It looked like a magazine as well and I wonder if the people who own it are actually able to live in it. I'd definitely take my Kansas farm house over a magazine any day. 

There's so much more that goes on here but I'm tired and not typing so well any more and taking little naps in between sentences. Time for bed.
