How About Some Fun Info About our Life in Africa
- A donkey cart picks up our trash everyday. Or as the boys would say, “The garbage Donkey is here!”
- On every “block” there is at least one uncompleted new construction which serves as a public bathroom and dump
- Tomato and cucumber seeds are for throwing away, not for eating
I learned this the hard way, as I made the critical error of leaving them in the dish I made
- Dress is determined by where you are going and not what you are doing.
- Most people here speak 3 different languages
- Entering a room requires greeting everyone in the room
Hopefully someday my boys will willingly do this
- Arts and crafts are everywhere
I am enjoying learning how to do some of these crafts
- When we go on a walk we just never quite know what we will bring home with us
Our most recent find 
He has been a fun house guest although the boys were slightly disappointed that he won't change to the color of their legos
Some Special Blessings that came our way this week
- The mosquito screens are mounted and now just need to be sealed. We maybe see the light at the end of the mosquito tunnel!
- It is hot, but we are handling the heat so much better than we did last year.
- A special gift came our way to purchase a membership to the local pool during hot season. This is a HUGE blessing!
- We left for our monthly trip to Dakar, which is always relaxing and yes we even got a warm shower!
The boys love our Trips to Dakar 
So many special treats for them
- We found out we will have a whole suitcase that we get to fill with things for Katie to bring. Let the dreaming begin!
Hey, Ethan has his cast removed. Wonderful. I’m sure he’s pleased. How fun to see all your pictures. You really make your life come alive. God Bless You, Carolyn
Wow, lots of fun crazy things happening. I am glad you guys are handling the heat better, and the pass to the pool is wonderful. I hope you can enjoy that. Love you all!
Thanks for the fun pictures! Especially, of your cute boys! Thanks, boys, for posing so nicely for your mom’s pictures.
Thank you, Jesus, for helping Joel solve the mosquito problem!
Pool membership and hot showers! What else!!!!! Thank you, Lord! Your mercies are new every morning!
Thank you, Jesus, for holding them up in the hard times, too!
Love the glimpse into the daily fun! (I want a garbage donkey, too!)
What an uninspired lizard!!
Love,
Dad/Grandpa
Ahh! you have a pet! I love him a lot.
Oh I love this post!!! Food looks great to me even with all the seeds. A pool, I had no idea there was anything like that there. WOO HOO what fun. Your a good mom for allowing the boys to bring the animals inside. I’d be sad too if he didn’t change colors. OH what to put in the suitcase??? Dream big!!
