volunteer photographer, Kathleen King, visits

This weekend Susan went home and I stayed with dog duty…Two of my sick pups are well enough to join the others (and one was even adopted out) and the other two are taking their time getting well…but they Well some days can be what you may consider unbloggably (did I just make up a word??) boring.  This happily sleep next to my bed and last night was my first good night’s sleep in over a week. Sweet!
I was fighting one of my strange fevers for most of the weekend and besides cooking and cleaning up after the dogs and entertaining the neighborhood kids who come to color and eat bisquiks (cookies) it was pretty quiet. We are finally fed up with the landlady and her control of the water shut off valve! We found a beautiful place to move into for only $40 more a month….if she hadn’t gotten so weird we never would have thought of moving and never would have known we could be living at the Ritz!  So now have to just paste that smile on my face whenever I see her and hang in there for two more weeks while the house is being finished…..and yes it is brand new! 

The rains are here….get the big rain every afternoon starting around 2pm…..it really dumps a lot of water…people clear the roads as everything floods and gets washed away. The news says it will be around through May! I’m going to Nairobi tomorrow to get errands done and pick up friend and volunteer Kathleen King who will be with us for two weeks and doing a photo shoot of the Cu-cu’s.  She wants to document these strong inspirational women in a photo exhibit for which she already has a booking to exhibit.  The cu-cu’s will love it…..I’ve told many already she is coming and they ask every time they see me when is the day….they love having their photos taken! The day Kathleen, Susan and I return to Gilgil is the day all the kids get out of school for a few weeks…4 of our girls will be staying with us and the other kids will be coming and going…it may be a madhouse but one thing for sure it will never be boring!
