It has been raining most of the week. This is good. The garden is being watered and the plants that have been transplanted are getting watered in with little work.
Most of my week was spent doing yard work and looking for a part time job to bring in some extra money. We went to a picnic this afternoon with a group we belong to, Friendship Force. Those interested in learning more about the world, our country I recommend looking them up in your area. We have met some interesting people both from here, other states and have the opportunity to meet people from other countries by hosting them in our home and showing them our area.
The reality of South Africa is catching up with both Suzanne and I. We have no expectations of a great adventure, but realize it will be a tough assignment, but hopefully worth energy, both physical and emotional for the personal reward of helping others. Many have asked where and what for more details and our answer is we will find out when get there and actually start our training. Meanwhile we are looking for a tent, netting for sleeping and protecting us from mosquitoes, and reading as much as we can about the country to learn more. We have discussed the basics that we take for granted and how we will address them. Much will be answered when we arrive at our assignment but we need to prepare for the worse and hope for the best.
I am looking forward to learning folk tales and gathering more story materials for the future stories. Suzanne has been looking at a book with Zulu Beading.
We hope for a break in the weather to take a hike tomorrow, maybe one of the state parks nearby.
That is about all for now so have a good week.
