Moses installed a door sill and put silicone under the wood
so here is hoping ....no flood under the door

ta ta

a school in the diocese

Well the count down is in capital letters,  a week today I will be on the bus, the AYPA president offered to pick me up at the bus terminal and take me to the airport, such a relief to not have to barter with a cabbie.
the following pics are of one Anglican school in the Diocese of Sunyani

THE BAR

some of the students were able to meetup at the bar, others were ill (that happens over here more often than not), no UNO but chatting and the girls catch up with each other, I had 2 cokes, splurge of what and a sausage on a stick, spicey ++++ but good, it was fun to watch Franka pull food goodies out of her back pack: cookies, German bread, candies  and everyone got a taste, sitting under the trees, chickens walking to and fro, a dog wandered by who looked skinny to me

then it was time to leave, walked a bit to get a taxi, now you see in the pic above that there are 6  of us, 1 taxi, but ..... where there is a will there is a way, I got the front passenger seat and the five of them piled into the back with lots of laughter

4 were sitting and Franka laid across everyone's lap
So of course this the best pic of the evening
they will still be here when I get back at end of November so I promised I would get more hot dog buns made and we can have everyone come for a 'hot dog festival'

electronics... not my best feature I have to admit

- Mary typed a document into the diocesan computer and wanted to print it BUT printer is not working, so plan was to put document on pen drive and print it elsewhere,  document would not open in next computer, so I was asked to see it I could assist, well I reloaded the pen drive from the original computer, I tried to open document on my computer but there is a bug or something and it will not open, tried to reload it again and still no success     ...    2 steps forward and three steps back.

- Going to a bar near the airport with the students who came for hot dogs tomorrow afternoon to play UNO, not played it since 1990 with my kids in India, hopefully it comes back quick 

- started to get curtains washed and pack them away along with laundry, thank goodness for Afia getting it all done

new sandles

one of the skills the men are taught are the prison is making sandles, I ordered a pair and got delivery

recycled tires for the soles and leather uppers, quite nice I think,

 I have a couple of pairs if anyone is interested

Tuesday Tuesday

got the rest of the Kente woven at the men's prison and took it for stoles to be made

I was looking at pictures on Google, saved a couple for here

 This is Kakum National Park. I remember walking on this 'walk in the tops of the trees.' thinking that the rope looked a little old and the  whole thing swung somewhat but I did survive for another day.

NO 'TOYS R US' HERE SO KIDS BECOME VERY CREATIVE FOR THEIR TOYS
