Typical morning

Here is what my morning was like:

8:45 milk man arrived. bought 10 cups (about 1 1/2 gal) and boiled it for later use.
9:30 called my boda, Nasser, and went to an ATM about 10 min from here. No ATM card in my purse, so went back home, purchaseing sausages from the butchery and some passion fruit from the sidewalk vendor along the way.
10:15 found my card inside my passport! How did it get there?? This card is my only link to getting funds from the US. Without it, I'd be really sunk...
Take Nasser, go back to ATM, get funds. Ride to town. park on the street near a large mall, Garden City, so I can walk down to the store that sells the DVDs that I have to return. Then back to find Nasser. We went next to a shop to have the 5 staff ID cards laminated. While that was happening, we dashed to the fabric row of small shops for fabric for new table cloths and napkins. (Tomorrow is the 4th and I did want some red, white and blue decor.)
After buying the fabric, back to pick up the cards, then to the post office to check mail (the first of 2 checks i'll do this month), then to the supermarket for items for the breakast for 12 I'm making tomorrow. While I was busy, Nasser went across the street to pay my electric bill for me [about $70 for 2 months].

On the way home, we stop to purchase 4 large mangos for 2000/= (about $1) Finally we get back to the house about 12;15. What a great day. All the errands done, no accidents, and everything done on my list.

I love going places with Nasser. He is a safe driver, helpful with shopping and considerate of others need.
