Work and Play

I felt you all deserved a proper follow up on my nacho blog…After much prep, Jenny, Amanda, and I pulled if off… A Homemade Nacho Bar! But certainly not without a few reminders that we are in Kenya. The three of us and Theo (our cat, when he decided to prance on into the house), sliced, diced, baked, and boiled in my little mouse hole of a kitchen. We are getting the hang of it though and did a fine job until the oven decided not to light… (1st my microwave and now my oven…but oh well, that is what neighbors are for!)…so we had to hold the knob until our baked nachos were ready.

Yes, another lesson of patience in Africa. (I actually wrote out the blog while my computer started up and connected to the Internet and all I had to do once I got on the Internet was type it out…lol) Later this evening we will indulge in a loquat pie that Amanda so bravely made… This is the basket of loquats we peeled, just in case you didn't know what they looked like because I sure didn't...

But do not worry, I have been working too! Here is my new classroom...

Monday is my 1st day with my 16 children and yes, some of Crossroads came and will stay with me here too! Just for you Mrs. Cate :)

I am so excited to finally meet my new kids for this year. I even get to take Swahili lessons with them!!! By the end of the year you may be seeing my blogs written Swahili ;)
