I may eat just lentils and rice alone. But cooking is much better when done juntos.

Isaac and Melissa gave a great chicken project charla in my site.




Yes. All from my garden! Note the one green bean.

Lice is no lie

Photos pending. In the constant battle with viruses either the computer or my memory stick decides to default. I have this great photo I want to upload, but for some reason when I plug the mem stick into the computer all that appears is someones Spanish homework. I have no idea.

Mom, Dan and Brett come in for a visit in a couple of days. I am very excited. I need a break, and this will be the longest that I have had, nearly 3 weeks, due to meetings on either side of my family´s visit.

Things have slowed down significantly since I last wrote. Good thing the lice kept me busy. I am not, unfortunatly, joking. It was war and I won, but now my scalp itches from the shampoo and my hair is falling out. The hair that didn´f fall out I have been pulling out in a return to early service anxiety and a general ¨What am I doing here?¨question playing over and over in the cabeza.

But I am so excited to have the folks here and people are really excited to meet them. All the women really want to meet Mom. And I´ve had a couple great evening up with my favorite neighbors Bei and Eda Umo in their community. Birthday celebrations.

And I am thinking about applying for a position that will fill up some of my ¨empty time¨. Then I can enjoy being in my community for the social aspect, just hanging out, working when there is work but not worrying so much when there isn´t.
