Just Two Weeks

Sept 13, 2010 – Hard to believe that in just two weeks we will be home.  Not quite actually, two weeks plus a day if you consider the time difference and the fact we arrive late in the day and it’s still morning here.

But none the less, the time is wrapping up. 

“None the less” does that that phrase really make sense?  Hearing some of the phrasing locals use hear makes you stop and contemplate these things.

We had the biggest rain of our trip so far last night.  Ended up with a pretty good puddle of water on the veranda.  Must have blown in through the screen windows.  Now I know why Steve said when it gets stormy they let the dogs sleep in the main part of the house.

And we are trying to fatten up the dogs here in the last week so Steve and Judy do not think that we were starving them on purpose.  Actually been trying to increase their food for the last couple of weeks.  I think it’s just that rice and omena just does not have enough calories for them.  At least it looks like we’ve stopped the bleeding, as we say.

Steve and Judi will be back in town on Friday.  We are excited to see them.  Wish we were spending more time with them but will only have about a week with them.  I thought we had worked it out to have more but with this and that it’s only about a week.

It’s 10:30 am now and the sun is finally out and 80 degrees in the manager’s office.  Should be a good day.  Not much going on for me however.  nothing in fact.  I’ll have to make myself look busy all day.  Maybe I should work on pictures.

Need to go check the water tank that got busted a couple months ago.  The fundi here repaired it a couple weeks ago and the rain last night finally filled it over the crack.  Let’s see how much water is coming out.
