Just a quick update, boring weekend, consisted of a lot of reading, beading, and playing with Kibaibai (he was happy). Today I'm in the office in Eldoret, and the rest of the week I will be going to more groups. School is on holiday now, so I will not be teaching anymore the rest of the year. Thanksgiving is just around the corner! I am very sad to be away from my family and friends, however this year I will be cooking along with my friend (another volunteer) Lindsay, and we have invited some Kenyans to join in this American tradition. My counterpart and friend Anastasia and her boyfriend, my grounds keeper, one of my farm workers, and Lindsay is bringing her friend from her site. I am excited to have this cross cultural exchange. We will not be having the traditional turkey seeing as 1: they are not available, and 2: even if they were, I have no oven to cook it in, so on the menu: chicken (we will of course slaughter our selves) mashed potatoes (I am teaching Anastasia how to make them) green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, bread, fruit salad, and dessert. If you recall, I have 1 gas burner, and a charcoal jiko, so I guess we will use my fireplace if necessary. We are having Thanksgiving on Saturday instead of Thursday. I will be sure to let you know how it goes!
After this, bright and early Sunday morning, Lindsay and I will be heading to Limuru for our inservice training. We get to spend 2 weeks in Limuru, not cooking or cleaning, just learning and hanging out! It will be quite the vacation.
I have to talk a bit about Kibaibai. He is growing up sooooo fast! He is getting so big, and has gone all week with only 1 accident! He is such a character, I swear if dogs could talk.........
