New neighborhood

Loving the new house but there are some trade-offs….like the old revival church the band for the Boarding School behind our new house plays in practice field…this morning at 8 am the music was blaring so loud you couldn’t figure out the song for the static! Band practice sounds like they are practicing for the next revival…. bad and out of tune!!
Everything in the house in pink…every room, all the tiles, the iron work and even the gate is painted pink! Feel like I’m living in a giant bag of cotton candy!!  But it is clean and finished nicely with beautiful parquet floors and white ceilings. Even the outside finished with cinder block walkways and driveway….in other words no MUD!  I do miss the dogs though!

Thought I’d be alone this weekend as Susan went home to Nairobi with her kids …..then at 5pm Mercy and Elizabeth pitched up hungry and out of Boarding School for the weekend!  No food in the house except the leftovers I planned to eat and that wouldn’t do for them|! So sent them back out for meat, potatoes and chapati’s.  They happily danced around the house loving their new room, colors and every nook and cranny.

Never know who will pop in next…always someone! Two of our boys built a nice doghouse for Bahati in Nairobi.  He has to be outside alot and is terrified of the thunder and lightning (also the AK-47′s that fire off in the next neighborhood….a step up from a slum)…so he has a nice cozy “cave” to hide in now.
Rains are a coming and have to get the clothes off the line….
