with her! Small world..and a surprise.

          The third snapshot of Africa is much pleasanter!  We heard an authoritative young female voice outside our heavy metal gate. For once, we were the ones looking through the cracks…not the kids looking at the Muzungoes! 

          A young girl about 10-11 years old had a bunch of neighborhood kids lined up, doing calisthenics!  Then she organized kind of an obstacle course. etc.  It was amazing!  We were so impressed!  Just what these kids needed…a born teacher in their midst!     

          Sue had some “dumdums” (little suckers) and decided to give them to the kids then…having at least 50 and there were about 15 kids there.  By the time the girl had them in line, there were MORE than 50!  It was quite a scene, but we relied on the girl…and our saying “no line,no sweets”

So….another glimpse of Africa.

Now off to help Sue get ready for Peter’s Birthday party…41.  We were invited to his “real” party at 6:00 last night.  When did it begin? 6:00 p.m.  We decided this was a little short notice…and we were all “too pooped to pop”…as they” used to say!  Today he told us that he had never had a birthday party before and didn’t really know what to do!  TIA!

Goodbye…and I’d love for you to tell me who’s looking at this and your thoughts! Love, Stevie
