Crunch time

Here we go, par usual... too much to do, and time is running out. Peter and I went to Karen with Tony this morning, on a serious mission to buy a ping pong table for the kids. No such luck. In fact, I don't know if we can even find a store that carries such a thing.

We left Karen with some supplies for my friend Jane, who has a school about 3km away from Nagolie. After teaching the small children at Nagolie, Jane left to continue her education and open her own school. She opened a year ago with 6 students, and now has 45. No surprise here, as Jane is one of the most delightful, spiritual and loving people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. She is about 8 months pregnant with her third child now, and here she was, preparing lunch for me . We ate rice and fruit for lunch, and I gave her the chickens we had purchased at Nakumatt, something she could have for dinner tomorrow or tonight. I could see that Jane was exhausted with this pregnancy, and too proud to admit it, so I was careful not to interrupt her daily cat nap. We had a delightful time - just being in Jane's presence is a pleasure all on it's own.

After lunch, Peter and I stayed with the children only for a short time, due to a dinner date with Cherie and Mark :-)

Good night all - see you tomorrow,

Simmie and Peter
