Owah Saa!

Owah saa is an expression that means “great!” or “nice”. We learned that expression this week, and we had lots of opportunities to use it.

We are really growing to love our sewing nights. Last week it was warm enough to sit outside and enjoy the weather (before the mosquitoes came out). We brought a bunch of Diane’s furniture outside, including her coffee table full of books. Diane spoiled us with some delicious apple rosette tarts, and Janie with some boudin, a traditional boiled raisin and cinnamon bread. We learned some new words and listened to some stories while sewing. We might finish our moccasins before we leave if we keep going at this pace!

Alex has been missing her bike and her prayers have finally been answered! Our friend Violet was kind enough to lend us her bike for the summer. She even made a special delivery and brought it to the MSDC. Our friends Derek and Diane did a tune-up on the bike that same evening, much to Alex’s happiness. It was like Christmas Day for Alex and she tried the bike out right away.

The week’s nice weather continued and on Friday we got to do some fishing and sight-seeing. We got to cross two more things off our list, as we saw one of the dams (LG1) and James Bay in the same day. While we had no luck with the fishing, we really enjoyed the drive out to Long Point.
