Good afternoon family and friends. My mother katika America tells me that I am not writing enough on my blogs. POLE! (sorry!) So.... here is what has been going on. My friend Andrea and her puppy Sangala have been staying at my place since last Tuesday. There was a "situation" at her site, so she came here. She was not prepared to stay this long, but luckily she brought her pup with her.  She will be staying with me until Monday. Last week she came with me to a women's group, then our other friend came over to visit and stayed till Sunday. This is when we began making paper beads (p.s. thanks to all those who mailed magazines to me). So we've have been "beading" for about a week straight. It's just one of those things that helps relax you and takes your mind off of things, wine helps too. Prank calling also may or may not have happened. 

Since I mostly lounged around last week (thanks to Andrea) this week I actually had to do a little work. I went into the office on Monday, then met with the chief and taught at the secondary school yesterday. Today it has been raining on and off so it was a stay at home and bead kind of day. 

While Andrea has been here, we have cooked some tamu sana meals! Thus including: pizza, lettus wraps, cinnamon rolls, cookies, pasta, veggie stir fry, and much much more! I love having someone else other than myself to cook for! Kibaibai and Sangala have been loving each others company as well.
