First Time In An Airplane, Mrs. Malone??

First time in an airplane this small!!!! You must all remember the old Budweiser commercials when Laz first arrived in the U.S. (with the limo & Dr. Galacawisz.)
So, we even loaded our own luggage on this plane, and whereas the journey was only 5 min. & then we landed, I knew my stomach would never last the 40 minute flight to Nairobi from there. It’s been literally years & years since I’ve thrown up, but today? I’m glad for the plastic opaque bag in the plane! BLECK!!! Other than that, we arrived safely, John is feeling better, (said he slept while I was busy being sick!) & we are back at Laz’s house & Diamond Systems. Nice visit with Russells, sorry we had to leave. Nothing for us high output people to do, but other than that, they are great people to visit!

How to store snacks in Kenya.

Rubbermaid bins all over their kitchen, filled with foods, as they last a couple months before replenishing in Nairobi. They don't want critters getting into the food. A mouse was caught this week & hopefully he's the one who chewed up the rubber gasket on the pressure cooker. The background wall is actually the container they live in. That particular wall is their bedroom, off kitchen.

Sorry, I just HAD to post a better picture than that last one of me! That was WAY too embarrassing! But I really wanted the kids to see the orange trees, etc. so I swallowed my pride! (but wouldn’t be able to sleep later!) ha ha.
Besides, remember? I got some sun today! (ha ha) I couldn’t have looked any worse before sun! p.s. forgot to mention, you can’t see it, but it’s pouring cats and dogs again and what I wanted to say is, with the mbati roof (tin), the sound is AMAZING! I love it but Shayne tells me, he’s sort of sick of it by now, after 12 yrs. here, ya know? His new house has tile roof, for sure!

Two mzee (older men), hard at work! Tari & I walked up the hill to view their new house being built. When we came down, this was the site I beheld! Now, keep in mind, this is the first time JJM has gotten up at all, other than to wobble to the bathroom in 2 days! The sun really wore him out so he had to crawl back into the house & lay down. I, on the other hand, took advantage of the sun today!Karen & the MCC kids at school!

This really reminded me of our class, a couple yrs. ago, altho hers was not nearly as fun as ours. (ha ha), nor as long, or as many kids, but once a wk. she allows the kids to come & read books. They either do it on their own, or ask for help, or just look at the pictures. They were very excited. Afterward they got an orange to eat, (see next blog, ha) & jumped on Russell’s large trampoline, or shot basketball hoops. Until the rains came!
