"Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom" Marcel Proust ♥ (I borrowed this from my friend GIA although she was GLORIA when we first met...lol)
Things i will miss from Uganda .....
Peter, Innocent and Maxwell... all very nice young men who have been our interpreters. They have been fun & eager students, as well, of everything we have taught.
the slower pace
the eager minds just wanting to learn everything i can teach.
the frog songs at night
Grace - who has let us use up the back of his shop as our workspace as we S - P - R - A- W- L out all over, never loosing his sense of humor about it. The fact that he speaks slowly and has a great voice and softspoken manner ( maybe thats good for his congregation) not to mention a great smile and dimples... no wonder Tara likes him!
the breakfasts laid out every morning... fresh watermelon... i LOVE watermelon. I could eat it all day long everyday and never get tired of it..... sometimes its so good i even swallow the seeds.
Things i wont miss from Uganda
those vulture/damned trash birds still give me the willies.::::shuddering:::::
the red clay dust i have inhaled,
the decomposing trash smell
the bathrooms or lack thereof.
the news on tv.... i just saw about a plane crash in Pakistan... and while i PLAN on being around to annoy all of you for a long time... i am going to tell you what i told everyone whenever i tried some new dumb thing... If i die... tell everyone i loved them.
i dont have time to finish all the things i wanted to write because we lost power, BIG surprise, and my car will be here any minute.... there will have to be another entry...later kiddos....
