Why so tired?

Many days can send us home for a quick nap with our dogs. This week it is framing in cement counters for kitchen cabinets at the school, high winds creating white out conditions on the roads covered with 3 inches of thick dust, an unplanned 3 hour meeting with Maasai men requiring 4 hours of travel on bad dirt roads, instant coffee after remembering closed stores on Sundays, chasing dogs digging in the mud around our newly planted avacado tree, a party to say goodbye where decorating and cooking is a 2 day event, explaining to a metal 'fundi' in Swahili how to build a back yard chair yet not knowing what you will really get, testing for Malaria but relieved at only a chest cold, learning you will be doing the ceremony for your daughters wedding.

Ron, my husband loves it here. Just let him sleep!!
