Our Cupboards




Our cupboards are beginning to look not so bare. We take a regularly weekly shopping trip to town for groceries. Nakumats are more like your local Walmarts.

Our Faculty Family

Image
Occasionally, after Friday night vespers, we invite our faculty family over. Every family "adopts" a group of students and they become your faculty family. The kids love it! They get to crash a faculty member's house, eat their food, and just relax. We usually feed our faculty family popcorn (which Richard pops in our pressure cooker) and homemade sweet bread. I made them zucchini bread this last time and it was gone almost before it hit the table. We splurged and bought them Fanta, too! Here's one of our "kids" being a poser!

Picnic on Ngong

Image
For our first four-wheel drive experience, we took "the Kan" up to Ngong for a picnic. Richard wanted to drive all the way to the top. The only thing that saved us (PJ and I) was a tunnel of bushes that prevented us from going any higher and the fact that Richard was worried about the paint job. Here we are--PJ and I--resting after all the bumping around, enjoying our lunch. We tried to get one of our signature shots with PJ. He didn't quite make it!
