Nunie!

Nunie is a little girl that lived across the street from Rosa with her Mom, Dad and baby sister. Nunie is 3 and has so much character. What a beautiful child! Nunie is also very LOUD!!!

I loved teasing Nunie! I kept telling her that her Ball was MY ball. She found a peso on the ground and she said "It's MY peso!" I told her it was mine. She ran across the street and stood on some spiral stairs. She yelled across the street "Hey Lady! I have your peso!" doing a little dance. I kept bugging her until she stuck the peso into her panties! lol

The best was Norine and I were eating chicken that Rosa had made for us. Nunie and Rodolfo were playing around with us while we ate. I gave Nunie some chicken and she asked "what is it?" I told "it's cat" and she was goofing around saying "I love cat!" and it was funny. Then she went to talk to her mom, who was standing on the other side of the wrought iron grate that was in front of Rosa's house. Her mom asked her what she was eating and she opened her mouth for her mom to see the contents. She asked what is it? Nunie said "It's CAT!". I was sure her mom was going to lose it!

Rosa's House

Jose took us to meet his sister and her family. What a wonderful woman Rosa is! She has 3 older kids who are very sweet. The oldest is Angela and she is 18, Junior is 16 and Robbie is 15. Rosa also takes care of Jose's youngest son, Rodolfo.

I took so many pictures of our time at Rosa's house. Rosa cooked for us almost every day. She always made so much food. She made fresh cherry juice everyday and it was to die for! It was more like a fresh fruit slush than anything else!

La Playa or The Beach

When we first got to the hotel we walked the block to the beach. It was great! I took these pictures with my little point and shoot camera.

We had fun walking on the rocks out into the water. It was cool when the waves came in....litterally!

The Airport

I'm sure Norine thought that I was the WORST travel partner EVER on the way to the Dominican. I slept in the car on the way to Calgary. I slept on the plane to Toronto. I slept in the Toronto airport (see picture above...Norine is not the best photographer but I love her just the same :) ) and I slept on the plane from Toronto to Puerto Plata! On the way I didn't sleep much at all so I think she was happier on that leg of the trip!

Dominican In April Trip!

We went to the Dominican in April and I have been having a hard time downloading photos onto blogger. I am hoping to have them all up and running soon. As well I have been having issues with my desk top computer where all my photo editing software is. It is really bugging me to even look at my pictures and KNOW that I can't alter them at all until the desk top is fixed! GRRRRRR

Anyway....haven't taken many photos. I went to Fort McMurray for the weekend and I had a great time. In my rush out the door I forgot to take my point and shoot camera. After I got there I was really kicking myself because I had plenty of opportunity to take some amazing shots.

I am off to the same place next weekend and the camera gear IS COMING!!! I can't wait to spend some time on the trails taking photos. Just mundane things I'm sure but none the less fun for me!

Things are going well for me. I am enjoying my new job and my a new friend in my life. More about that in the future ;)

Update on Me

This post is not photo related but it will explain my absence!

I recently took on a job with Catalyst Services working on a catalyst truck in the oilfield. I am loving the job so far.

I did a week and 3 days of training. Then I worked last Thursday and Friday in the shop. It wasn't super hard work and I like the people that I work with. They are really nice guys!

This week I am working at the Petro Canada plant. My first real out of the shop job and I can't wait! The guy that is going to the orientation with me is really nice. I can't wait to learn all there is to learn about the job!
