Typical
Here's a typical phone conversation I had yesterday (flowing into today). Just a little background....I'm having X get brackets to hang curtain rods on and hoops to hang the curtains onto the rod. I have some from our home in Tala and want to match those (which were...
Crunch time
At least it feels like crunch time to me (poor Chuck has the brunt of the "construction management" work load, I'm not good with handling that stuff at all!). Trying to get the mission home somewhat livable for our friends, Bobbie & Rod, who will be here in ONE...
Let the lessons begin!
Secondary boys are home on mid-term and they've come home with requests (big surprise! Yes that was sarcasm!): more toilet paper...ok I gave into that one! school pants which don't fit anymore...they brought home the pants that don't fit (as they are supposed to!) so...
I’m 50, 50 years old!
Yup, I'm at that half century mark! Yikes! And I can remember my mother turning 30 and thinking, man that's old! Now 50 doesn't seem so bad 🙂 I agree with Sally O'Malley...I like to kick, stretch and kick! It was quite chilly this morning and I needed to warm up...
Mission home update
Here's the latest update on the mission home fundraiser.....getting closer but we are at the point of construction deciding what can or can't be done based on available funds. We ask for your prayerful consideration in helping with this project and thank you to...
To hug or not to hug……
That's really not a question for me....I'm a hugger. To this day (well three years ago) I hugged my adult kids frequently and was hugged by my mom, relatives, and in-laws....looking forward to many, many hugs during our US visit! This wasn't something we discussed...
Good morning, good afternoon and good night
It's a mad rush to get things done this Monday morning....lately Monday's have been scheduled power outages. So around 8 or 9 am electricity goes off for the entire day. No computer, no printing, no internet and no charging of phones. I try to use this down time to...
End of month
What a crazy day to end a crazy month! Teenagers (need I say more!?), lack of communication from schools and basically this concept that kids are better off being away from their homes/parents, boarding at school for three months at a time, and allowing their peers...
Hats!
Check out the new Caring for Kenya's Kids (C4KK) hats! This is the logo for our children's home in Kenya. Pretty nice, huh? We are asking a $20 donation per hat, which will help fund C4KK. We'd like to get an estimate as to how many hats we should bring with us to...
Question/favor/comments please
We continue working on filling our US visitation calendar 🙂 If you or someone/group you know would like to hear about the work we do here in Kenya please click on the above calendar to find out which dates are available then get in touch with me (by using the email...
