a little late

 I am apologizing for not ending my time in Ghana on my blog. Excuses include no internet the last week, then once back I got caught up with the Canadian life, appts, shopping in stores, opening up the cottage and just blizzing out with TV that I do not see in Ghama.  Again sorry sorry, but please note that I have bought my out of country health insurance for next year so I will be back on line mid November for the Ghana adventure to continue. Thanks to all who follow me and my escapades on this blog. 🙇

Inside

The crossed crooks are held by members of the Guild of the Good Shepherd

there are no little folded crosses, just long branches, probably like 2000 years ago

Internet troubles

 For days, can get on with phone, can't get on with computer.

I am leaving Ghana Wednesday so hopefully I can get on for Easter

TGIF PARTY

 To celebrate Dominic and Benedicta's birthday and the last TGIF Friday for me. Food, games . fun were in attendence.

Food : coke and pizza, what more could you want

Games

Corn Hole in the hall of the Diocese

Twister

INTERNET

 I just need to say the the trouble getting on the internet has been a big pain. I try several times in an evening and I can get on using my phone but not the computer, something about different band widths or ????. I really do not understand the whole thing but it is very frustrating to say the least.

corn hole game

 I played this game at Kirk and Holly place last summer and thought it would be a game for the Cathedral party on Easter Monday.  It is a game where teams throw a bean bag at a distant board with a hole. There is a scoring system and the best team wins. It was a several month project to get a game made. We just made the score card yesterday. So far in the office everyone has tried their hand at sinking a bean bag in the hole. I hope it is good fon on Easter Monday.

SCORE CARD, FOR GREEN AND RED TEAM

THE GOAL OF THE GAME TO GET  THE BEAN BAG IN THE HOLE. THE GAME BOARD IS 4 FEET BY 2 FEET AND THERE IS TWO BOARDS,  27 FEET APART. SO HERES HOPING IT IS A HIT AT THE EASTER MONDAY PARTY

New Canons of the Cathedral of Ascension

 Two priests from New York known for doing good works were installed as Canons last Friday.

Rev. Canon Kino Vitelli and Rev. Canon Michael Lopez. Both work closely with the marginalized. Michael is a monk in the Benedictine Monastery in New York City, This order has food and medical truck serving the needs on the street. Food truck called The Hungry Monk Rescue Truck.  Reminded me of my days at Street Health in the late 80’s.  

Those standing around with regalia on makes for a strange scene.

In group pic Michael is on Bishops right and kino on the left.
