Happy Anniversary dear!
Today is 27 years of being happily married to my best friend! He loves the Lord with all he has - no photo of him and the Lord but the following photos show his love of Christ through his love of others! He loves the kids here in Kenya- He loves our kids in Phoenix...
A Raging River Brings Peace…
The trip to Nairobi was somewhat successful...we registered as aliens in Kenya and got our Visa's extended. However it was extended only until November 5 and Chuck will be checking into alternative ways for us to stay here in Kenya. I have to be honest and tell you...
Heading to Nairobi
Tuesday we are heading to Nairobi...that's good, bad and necessary. Good because we can find a few items we can't get in Tala (cheese and hamburg to name just a few), bad because I don't like the traffic, exhaust and pollution of the city and necessary because we...

Discipline
Not necessarily a word I like to hear associated with myself...discipline sometimes produces a negative image. I do something wrong and need discipline to correct my behaviour. Yet sometimes it's a good word...we all need discipline in our lives in order to get done...
Offense taken?
Language barriers can sure create misunderstandings. Recently Chuck and I went for a walk with a neighbor kid, Peter. As he was showing us his family's shamba (garden) a girl came up to us, shook Chuck's hand and said we cheated her. We didn't remember ever meeting...
