Busy Fixing up the Dormitory

This week everyone has been busy mowing, raking, gardening, organizing, washing windows, and repairing. Today, I have been asked to put together and figure out what is needed to get nice clean curtains for all the rooms. We will change the fittings to use only curtains to hang on a bar, rather than all those hooks and wheels. Someone will be busy sewing quite a few pair of curtains to fit the bars. That someone won't be me, cause I don't sew. I hope you all have a nice Friday evening. Thanks for all your comments.

Thursdays Outing

Thursday was my day to go to the 'big city'. It is always nice to go shopping. Shopping isn't too big here in Smithfield. So it isn't often that I get to go to a place with a proper grocery store. Also we have a store here in South Africa called 'The Crazy Store'. It is very much like the Dollar Store, except for the prices. Most things cost more than a dollar, but it is fun in any case. I do get a lot of things there for the merit store at school. Valerie, a lady that helps me in the class, went with me. We had an enjoyable lunch of KFC. Then we went to a local hot springs and got a chance to swim in the hot mineral water. It was a lovely time for relaxing. Then we came home to our excited little doggies with chicken bones. I am including a picture of Valerie and Sparky, my dog. She has a little sausage dog named Trixy. Trixy is smaller than Sparky.

A game I have recently enjoyed has been Sudoko. I have it on my cell phone and like to try to beat the best times. Just tonight I found color sudoko. It is really neat. Here's a link if you are interested in brain teasers.

Heres a link to printable sudokos - with numbers. A neat idea for keeping kids occupied too.

Have fun!

Welcome Friends

This is a new experience for me. I am not sure where to start. So I will just start somewhere so that I can get started. I have photographed some interesting creatures. Some I could not find now, but I will show you a few to get started.


I am on 'vacation' right now from school. All the children have gone home until April 13. I have to get ready now for next term. A new theme must be made with all new decorations for the class. I have been considering a theme of "Wise Up!", but am still open for suggestions.

The last few days I have been resting and doing some baking. I made snickerdoodles, Choc Chip Banana Muffins, Deep fried Toffee Apples (Chinese recipe), and Korean Barbecue Chicken. It was quite an experience. Some things I have frozen so that I have goodies for a while.

Please pray for help in the school. Also at the mission we are praying for God's Divine Intervention in preparing for our Big Move. The Devil has put many obstacles in the way. But we are trusting in God to have His Way.

I will say good bye for now, and add more when there is more.
