Another Walk Somewhere in Germany


Phew, I haven't blogged in while! So sorry! I've been away at a Ministry to the Miltary (MTTM) camp for a week in Belgium. I will make a post about when I get the pictures together.  But anyway, I went for a walk with my mom and the dog, Kali, outside our village. And of course I took some pictures, so I'm going to share some with you. Enjoy :)

Fabulous Fridays!! Volunteering and Learning to Drive

I thought i should write something that i did on fridays, because fridays are awesome. So watch out for Fabulous Fridays!! :D

On base we have the American Red Cross. The ARC has offered teens 14+ to volunteer at the Library, Post Office, Pet Spa, and anything with the Youth Center and Schools. And if we volunteer so many hours (I forgot how many hours) we can have a free class that the ARC offers, like the babysitting course or the CPR.  I volunteer at the Library 3x a week and Post Office once a week. I have been volunteering for about 3 weeks, so i have a total of 20 hours.

So today (meaning a couple days ago) I volunteered at the Library. I got the job of programing the tags for the alarm system on all the audio books. SO what I would do is: Scan the audio book and see if the tag was working, if not I would put another tag. Scan it, then it should say that it works. Sometimes all I had to do was program the tag and put it away instead of putting another tag in.

Scan, Tag, Scan, Put away, Scan, Tag, Scan, Put away. Did that for 2 hours and i still have to do more the next time i volunteer. Also, I met this one lady that was TDY here in Germany and was from Trafalgar Square, Georgia! I've only been to the one in London.

After Library, I went to see my dad to lunch. Then my dad drove me to the Post Office. Unfortunately the Post Office was closed because it was a down day on the base. But usually when I volunteer at the post office, I am the person who gives people their packages when they come to pick it up. I once pitched mail, but I don't really care for it, so the other workers at the Post Office let me do the package stuff.

I really enjoy volunteering at the Library and Post Office, in fact ever since I was little i always wanted to work there. :)

But anyways, since i wasn't going to volunteer at the Post office, I went to go watch my dad and a couple of his co-workers golf. And guess what I got to do?! I got to drive the golf cart around for my dad!! I was really nervous though, i thought maybe I'd go to fast or I would tip the thing over, or or SOMETHING! But it doesn't go that fast anyways haha.  So i drove around, watched, drove around, watched, once in a while i backed up (which i am very good at), watched, drove.....
Then we went to the driving range and hit some balls.

I had a good day! :)

That was my day. I enjoyed it very much. :)

Every weeekend, the Ice Cream Man comes. He honks his horn, which sounds like a gazillion bells. And he stops at each corner of the little off-base housing area in the town we live in.
