Rain
Yesterday was quite productive. Chuck continued working on the toilets....God willing the end of this week all four will be operational! I on the other hand cleaned off my desk from "beginning of the year" build up....but my excuse is surgery. I also had to...
Congratulations all Class 8’s!
We are so proud of these two! Doris and Kevin have completed their primary education and will soon embark on a new adventure...secondary school! They should be receiving their letters of invitation from secondary schools very soon. Thank you for your prayers for...
Big sigh’s this morning!
It’s only 9 am and I’m heaving several big sigh’s this morning! But as I told Chuck, it only gives me fodder for the blog 🙂 Yesterday I received a text message saying I had to register my phone line or it would be turned off today (Monday). I had registered my line...
Half movie better than none?
Ok, I just had to relay this story. I'm actually still scratching my head but this is the truth! I found a place near our post office where I can purchase movies. I let him know when I'll be in the area and he has them ready. Sounds like a good deal, right? The...

Are you bored?
Our Class 8 graduates, Kevin and Doris, are waiting for their KCPE (Kenya Certificate of Primary Education) results and their invitation letters to secondary schools. So while their brothers and sisters have left for secondary and the primary kids are all in school...
Just different
There certainly are differences between having surgery in the US and having surgery in Kenya (and I've experienced both)! I'm not saying my experience here in Kenya was a bad one, just different. I don't remember much about my pre-surgery since I was in a lot of...
Potatoes and tots
Ann, house mom at C4KK, planted potatoes and recently was able to harvest. Unfortunately we won't be planting them again because they are notorious for bringing spider mites. The mites love potatoes and then move into the tomatoes, thus ruining the tomatoes. We...
The Nook adventure
Last year my Nook Color crashed. My friend, Bobbie, had gotten it for me and brought it on one of her trips to Kenya. When it crashed, and they are not sold here, I had no way of returning it other than getting it back to the U.S. (love how God works out the...
Back in the saddle?
Boy, recuperating sure is a tricky deal. The past few days I was at C4KK, not really doing much other than sitting at my desk and working on the computer, but that took its toll. I decided to stay home for a few days and let my insides have a rest. But here's a few...
