So, I haven't blogged in the longest of times...and my family is about to be upset with me because they want to see pictures and stories. So, here it goes...
Last Sabbath, I had the MOST AMAZING FOOD EVER!!!! Rice and beans with homemade salsa and guacamole (I made that!!!) Also, I had the most amazing drink ever and it's totally my new favorite. It's a fanta and it's called "Black Current" but sometimes I get confused and call it "Cool Torrent" and I have no idea why!!!! hahaha. I got a lot of naps and sleeping in last Sabbath and it was pretty nice. Later on in the evening when I woke up form my nap, I was still at the Raymonds...YAY!! haha. That night we made cinnamon buns and told a bunch of fun stories!!!!
Sunday I went out to brunch with a group of the Maxwell staff who were off duty. Afterwards, we went to the glass factory and got to see a bunch of really cool things that they made out of glass! (there was even a scrap area where you could break glass for fun) We took some cool pictures too! Then, we traveled around to see the places that serve really good pizza and that also have a swimming pool!!! (Can't wait till it get's warm enough to swim again!!) While we traveled around, Derek put the roof up on the Land Rover and I got to stand up and watch as we drove past everyone staring at me...the "Muzungu!" haha. I had a really great time and was wishing my sisters were with me for that!!!
The week was pretty uneventful, besides teaching and getting out early!! Thursday started our "Long weekend" which is basically a short break that the students get. Some go home or to a friends house..but others stay on campus so we have a more laid back weekend. I went on the town trip thursday afternoon and so part of my supervision was eating frozen yogart, grocery shopping (for some Black Current!!) and testing out KFC! Not bad!! (Sorry mom)
Anyway, today we had a delicious brunch and I actually had sour cream that tasted pretty good. Yani made it and she is a good cook...but I was skeptical because I don't seem to like the dairy here. :( And, I'm really excited about having some for dinner with the haystacks!! I supervised from 12:30-2:30..nothing too eventful there. Tonight I'm going to make cornbread with Yani...and let me tell you...her cornbread is AMAZZZZZZING!!! :) I feel like I'm forgetting something...but I'll have to add it later once I remember!!
Hey Jeanna, Glad to hear so much good news & great pics of what's been happening. Yeah, you have that gliche like me, changing wording around. Sad it's starting so early in you! :( I am a bit concerned about eating at KFC though. I'm sure it was tasty.....but not worth it if you get "bird flu"! Did you get to swim, or just "drool" over that pool? I know it would have been nice to have shared those good times with your sisters! They wish they could be there to experience all the excitement too! Well, it sounds like the food you're enjoying is quite tasty & I'm glad you get to share it with good company! We miss you so much & love you more! Love, Mom
ReplyDeleteLove that pic of you looking down from the landrover! Like you are looking at us! When can you skype? Dad leaves tomorrow morning early. Facebook me, ok?
ReplyDeleteYIPPE, i was so happy to read another post from YOU....i read your friends but yours is still the BEST cause it is like you are talking to us in person!!! As for the clouds, is your house on a hill??? Cause that is like that for us here. Loved all your photos too, the kids look like they have cute personalities!! I mix up words too, but hey if that is a grape drink ....I am not interested. DOing a 2 day grape fast and never want to see purple grape for LONG TIME! All your foods sound great to me right now....21 more hours and counting to be able to eat different food. Water and grapes is all i have had...U Larry is doing it too, but he is grouchy and getting weak willed, i am determined to succeed 48 hrs!!! Get your rest....all that napping is a sign you are pushing yourself too much. Miss you lots! Thanks for lovely post card, but waiting to see the LION photos??? xoxo
ReplyDeleteWow, i wouldn't want to do a grape diet...good for you and Uncle Larry! Thanks, I try to get around to blogging when i can! We are at 6,000 ft elevation and about on the equator so that may have something to do with it! The drink is delicious though!!!!!!!!! I am getting rest...it's busy here but I think I'm doing fine! :) Glad you enjoyed the postcard!! :) Love and miss you both!
