we had a 10 am studio rehearsal today at new york live arts. we were out early to meet with our housing complex's gardener who brought marigolds and celosias over for the children to plant on thursday. we ended up helping her trim the daffodils and replant a laurel bush. we finished in plenty of time to visit grumpy cafe for blueberry hibiscus tea, coffee, banana bread and carrot cake.
morgana and i haven't been as strict with the gaps diet, but we're still drinking broths every day.
i liked these stone planters we passed when leaving the coffee shop. after the studio rehearsal the girls finished their illuminations while i read about mohammad and charlemagne. they also worked on their italian, french and german . . and their typing skills! they both use an online program that morgana found.
morgana was very amused at the birthday cards that arrived for her today as they both featured apricot colored kittens with a pink background and pink envelopes!

I thought only you were doing German?! Which girl is doing German?
ReplyDeleteI told Flora that Morgana's birthday is today (is she 17 already?) and she thought that it was great that her favorite puppet play performer has a birthday just one day before hers. Maybe it is a kitten birthday card boom! Happy birthday, Morgana, and all the best for the next year. May all your dreams and hopes come true! Love from Western New York.
Thank you so much, Eva. Morgana says thank you too, and she turned 18 today! She's begun studying German as she's trying to set up an au pair position in Vienna through a family that she babysits for here at home. The husband is from Austria and he's helping her by writing to all his friends in Vienna. He seems certain that he can find her a place, so we'll see!
Delete18, I thought it was just 17. One of my friends from my German university days lives in Vienna. She would also be a possibility to help out. I met her last summer again, after I hadn't seen her for over 20 years, but it was like those years had never passed. She is such a sweet and warm person. She has two small children herself and should know about such opportunities. Just let me know if you would like me to contact her.
DeleteThank you so much, Eva! I will let you know . . though Morgana seems to think that your friend is probably in the same group as the one our friend Stefan is contacting for her! We'll just have to see :)
DeleteMaybe, but she is a woman and women normally have more connections in these areas than men :).
