Oh I know, it doesn't take much to put a smile on our face, just the familiar smell of ROOT BEER. You should have seen the corners of Jays mouth turn up when he stuck his nose into the extract bottle. What a great gift! About a week or so ago an in term Dr. here on the station showed up at our door with a package. "Open it" she said. She knows her Canadians. Inside were 6 bottles of extract to make root beer! She, herself, being Australian didn't get what the big deal was and said it smelled like medicine, but she sure knows how to give good gifts. I even think we got her hooked when a few days later we were able to make root beer floats, with some ice cream she had made!
It really is the little things, like tasting a Root Beer, that balance things out, against the smell of a dead rat. And you will be happy to know we are moved back into our sweeter smelling school room.
We also have to be careful what we call Root beer here, or we may get in trouble, so if we ask for a Root Pop when we get home you will know what we mean.
