Stephanie: July 5th-25th, 2008 37th WWoofer




Stephanie from France arrived here after travelling from Quebec in a Tractor Truck (known also as a Semi Truck). Stephanie had met the driver of the truck while Wwoofing in Quebec. It wasn’t to long before Stephanie fit right into our routine. She was a lot of help at a time when the weeds were going crazy, and by the time she left her English was getting much better. Some of the chores she helped with included, firewood stacking, helping in lodge kitchen, weeding almost endlessly in the garden, driving the truck for haying and painting the trim on our new greenhouse. While Stephanie was here we hosted two other Wwoofers, Jana from Germany and Rebecca from Quebec. Stephanie was great at using the vegetables from the garden and there wasn’t a meal she participated in that didn’t have a fresh salad with her famous salad dressing (oil, bragg, maple syrup, garlic and any herbs). It was a nice surprise for Stephanie to meet a friend from France in our local grocery store, who invited her hiking on the Iceline Trail in Yoho Park.
Stephanie left with Rebecca, again in a Semi Truck, headed for Vernon, where she hoped to pick cherries. A week after Stephanie left we had a note from her saying that cherry picking wasn’t working out and that she was headed for Victoria.
