What I wanted to post yesterday…..what I was able to post today…
We are now back in Tala and yes it is always good to be back home, especially when the electricity is on and water is running (however our shower isn’t working, aarrgghh). Ok, we did arrive home, electricity was on and our shower wasn’t working….found out the shower wasn’t working because we ran out of water (not enough pressure to make the shower work). We are still out of water this morning.
The journey was safe and honestly I got a lot of uploading and downloading done with the quicker-than-village speed internet! Now I have to stop from pulling my hair out with the molasses speed we are back to (took me several attempts and about 45 minutes to upload the updated mission home photo….sigh). I wrote the above when I thought the photo was just about to upload but after an hour of trying I gave up without being able to upload one measly photo or posting the blog.
The mission home fundraiser is close to it’s half way point. The goal is 500 stones and we are currently at 231 1/4 stones! If you aren’t sure what I’m talking about please visit our website for more information. I couldn’t post this link until the above photo was finally uploaded, otherwise the amount would have been incorrect on the photo. It’s now correct and you can still go to the website for more information.
Well, as I said, it is good to be home so I think I’ll get an early dinner, relax with the cats (they missed us, at least that’s what I’m telling myself!) and mentally prepare for getting back to C4KK tomorrow. We did have an early dinner and relax with the cats. Mental preparation, that’s another story….kids are still home (teachers continue to strike), meal plans at C4KK need to be adjusted due to the additional kids (and remember we paid school fees which included feeding these kids), internet is terrible (hoping to get this posted before too long) however I was able to file receipts, organize children’s records and discuss menus with Ann.
And now it’s taken me another 1/2 hour to attempt to post this blog. I guess if you can read this it worked!
