Here is a jumble of thoughts, activities, in no particular order:
goat babies are 6 weeks old now, eating grass (and my potted plants) very well. Ready to be weaned.
New place won't be ready till early August, so will be in this house a while longer. Am so ready to move.
Life is out of rhythnm right now: no work at Heritage School on Wed, no sitting at Shanthi's on Mon am while the cleaning happens.
My big pot of milk takes 30 minutes to come to heat to make it safe to drink. I love getting fresh milk at my door 2x a week. Usually buy 5 liters for about $1.25. Love the cream to put onto hot cereal.
Added Rachel to my staff, as she loves to cook and it gives us one hot meal every day. Ruth still cooks 2x week, at least till she starts her last internship in August.
Gambles have decided to stay on for one more month to try to get all the papers from the Court and finalize the adoption. They are truly in vacation mode, in an almost empty house.
There are such wonderful people everywhere in the world. Folks who help without complaining, who are good counsel and keep confidences, who are willing to extend themselves in the service of others. God is so good.
Travel plans for Kenya in August are beginning to firm up. 10 days in a village in the highlands. Guess I'd best take all my warm clothes.
The 2 cats in my house are still not friends, after 2 months together. At least the yelling at each other is much reduced. Never thought I'd think that hissing was OK, but it is much preferable to the loud, middle of the night, screeching that can happen.
Macaroni-and-cheese-with-corn-from-scratch is one of my grandkids favorite dinners. So I have to go shopping soon, with one of my boda drivers, to pick up the makings. Pizza is on the docket for tomorrow night, a bit easier as it can be done ahead of time.
Had a business stamp made up. Uganda is big on papers being stamped and signed if they are "official". So the new ID cards I will make up for staff next week will be stamped and signed before they are laminated.
Am learning to make cheese as well as yogurt and other lovely things from milk. Not a bad pastime.
Guess that's all the random stuff for now.
