new Betsy

old Betsy had 395,000 km, does not owe me a thing

new buggy

Friday

xray verbal report says there is one break (there were 2 in Africa)  so at this point ??? I do not know, MD referring to fracture clinic, so the future is still pending I suppose
wearing long underwear as it feels very cold here

landed in Canada!!!!~!

left the house at 730 am on Wednesday Adu drove me to Kumasi, 1015 at the Kumasi airport but cant sit inside the aiport, no seating but a big white tent with several a/c units is the waiting room so get 2 young men to assist to get buggy with 2 hockey bags and a large suitcase, the drum and my carry on up and down the curbs (no ramps of course), wait for 315pm flight to Accra, waiting waiting and finally can check big luggage ( I said to the fellow weighing all the big bags are between 16 to 18 kg, he laughed and said maybe my scale was off NOPE all bags within my limits, finally board the prop plane to Accra, I was worried that I would not be able to get my big bags off the rollers but a business man offers to get them, ( he tells that he is Methodist and works for the RC diocese in Sunyani and asked if I knew the RC Bishop, so I reminded him RC don't not take women as priests) anyway he pushed my buggy to the International airport, found the Wheelchair seating and got me comfortable before he went on with his day, By enlarge the assistance through out was great, 

so was travelling or waiting to travel from 730 am on Wednesday to landing in To around noon on Thursday which would be 4pm in Ghana, a little weary to say the least, Debbie picked me up, went for food, and went to GP for 5pm to see about my ankle, Doc was amused with my story, got an xray requisition, new script for pain pills, xray done last night and will get verbal report today some time and new pain pills So bottom line is Doc says the ankle can be made better and a plan can be created once they have a 'decent xray' so still waiting for his call today .. will keep you posted

What a person does to avoid cooking dinner

I did not want to cook my last night so invited folks to dinner at the hotel, good food, lots of laughs, a great evening!       Fr.   Michael, Gifty, Yaw and moi

scary evening

Gifty tells me today that she saw something move in her living room last night, Yaw was asleep, was it a mouse, was it a roach ...  none of the above, she woke Yaw up which in itself was a miracle as he sleeps like the dead, he looks and yells 'its a snake' Gifty calls her neighbour who of course can not find anything, maybe he was afraid too and did not look, Gifty tries Adu but no answer, she calls Adu's friend who calls Adu who was sleeping, Adu calls Gifty and asks ... is she sure, she just kept repeating,,please come, please come. The short version .. it was a small cobra which now has join all other good snakes in snake heaven. She was prepared to go to her brother's if it was not found to sleep, so maybe me find a  4 inch roach is really not a big deal  

Vestry Meeting

I guess everyone feels the same way abut Vestry Meeting and today was that day at the cathedral..I thought I would miss it but alas ...no such luck

I have some pics of the cathedral grounds as it has just had a paint job and looks very nice.

FIRST CATHEDRAL BUILDING NOW CALLED THE CHAPEL

USED FOR SUNDAY SCHOOL AND MEETINGS

- IT FACES THE FRONT OF THE SECOND BUILDING

ON THE RIGHT IS THE EDUCATION OFFICES WHICH HOUSES THE DIOCESAN OFFICE &
ON THE LEFT THE BLUE BUILDING IS THE  ST. ANSELM PRIMARY SCHOOL (100 STUDENTS)
The ground as you see it is a disabled persons nightmare, rock all different sizes and
just higgly piggly in arrangement. .

THE CENTRE BUILDING HOUSES TWO TOILETS AND 

THERE ARE TWO BEING ADDED, ONE AT EACH END AS WE SPEAK 

These four are the only ones on the grounds for use by the school, the cathedral and the offices.

ahhhhhhhhh

a bath at Gifty's is better that a Coke (and you know how much I love Coca Cola)
had bath and supper at Gifty's last nite.

ONLY  4 MORE SLEEPS TILL DEPARTURE
