My dad has been sick for the past two days. We have been praying for him today as his fever has been pretty high. We made him (and I mean forced him) to go to the lab for some blood work. His Malaria test was negative, which we were excited about, but the fact remains that he is still sick. so if you think about it please pray for him. I will keep you posted on his condition.
Besides my dad's illness we have been having a lot of fun together. Tom and Brian have been busy with all the repairs that our house needs. It seems that everyday something else breaks here, I am going to start referring to this place as the money pit. Brian agrees with me, and is, even now, going to place a pan under the toilet because he just found a new leak. I guess I need to be thankful that we have a toilet, even if some of the water finds its way onto the floor. I can handle a small leak, it is the giant waterfalls that I have a problem with. This morning my mom and I came home to a bathroom covered in water, in fact, it was so wet that all the linoleum tiles stared popping off. Brian got right on the job, and by the afternoon our toilet was fixed. Tonight it is the toilet in the other bathroom that is having problems, I guess when it rains it pours.
Not only do we have leaky toilets, we seem to have a major ant infestation in our vehicle. We can't figure out where they live, but one thing is for sure, there are a lot of them. Zach spent the day cleaning the inside of the car, with the hope that it takes care of the problem. If I didn't think that our pest control man spayed "breeding potion" I might have him come and spray our car. But the last time our pest man rode up on his bicycle he had a big can of chemical strapped to the back that promised death, but brought about procreation. Imagine my disappointment when instead of 100 ants we had 100,000 ants in our kitchen. When instead of no bats, we had them flying around our family room. I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm guessing that man is in the wrong line of business.
Even with sickness, leaky toilets and unwanted bugs we are all having a good time, or at least I am!

This is so cool sitting here commenting on your blog sitting across from you listening to the thunder and watching the lightening flash. These are moments I cherish.
I agree with you, Ju, even with sickness, leaky toilets and unwanted bugs I'm having fun. Pop might not agree right now but since he seems to be on the upswing he'll agree soon.
I love meeting your friends, seeing how you live, going to the store, playing games, eating African food. I loved lunch today which was dangu. I enjoyed scuma wiki and ugalee (I'm not sure about the spelling) the other day. What a wonderful experience we're all having.
I have no idea what the day (I think it's Wednesday) or date is but I'm fearing our time here is passing by way too quickly.
Dear Julie, I can certainly relate to the "toilets". When I was young and all 4 of the children lived at home, and we had grandparents to come and visit, it never failed, toilets would either get stopped or leak, also the kitchen sink. I praise the Lord that Nancy and Nadine, and Brian are having fun, I pray that Mike will be too asap.
I have prayed for him constantly these past 2 days. I know the Lord will heal him and he can enjoy his trip. I think I am envious (not really)I would love to come and see you but I know it is impossible for me. Anyways I love "yall" and "Aint God Good"

OK, way to go Nancy on the bravery in spelling the african foods! I'm glad to hear the cuisine isn't only consisting of tacos. =) that seems to be all I eat when i'm in kenya! who's cooking up the african food? did you learn to cook these things Julie???? Does Nattie still love the "golly"??? anyway, have SO much fun!!!! I can't wait to see you guys in just two weeks! ahhh!!!
