flotsam and jetsam

  • A friend I’ve known for 12 years, but have only talked to on the phone a handful of times, called me. It was so great to catch up with Shineanea. (Sorry, friend, I had to get that in there!)
  • I ate breakfast burritos… one of the small joys of my life. Mmmm…
  • We’ve received some great feedback about the new ministry site and it’s been so fun to see people interacting through comments on the field blog. Yay!
  • Starbucks added “See ya later” to his repertoire. (Pardon my French.)
  • Some missionaries in another part of SA spent the weekend with us. It was wonderful to hear about the work they are doing, and I do believe I’ve made a new friend!
  • A friend got me hooked on email Scrabble (I didn’t even know there was such a thing!), and now I’ve got two games going simultaneously. Lemme know if you want to play! (Don’t worry–I suck!)
  • I got to talk to my friend Kitty — twice! And she got me to smile the biggest I think I ever have!
  • Niel and I went rally-driving through the mud on our base. Fun times!
  • I was asked to be a guest blogger on another website! How cool is that?!

And that’s a wrap!

    this post made me smile… you just “sound” upbeat :)

    Total side note… Dave loves the British show “are you being served” which personally I can’t stand… but he was watching it the other day while giving me a back rub (so how could I complain) and they used your title phrase in a sentence!! I was like… wait a minute… b/c of Kitty I know what that is :)

    I am obviously behind on reading, but I loved the Shineanea shout out! It made me laugh (out loud). I also love breakfast burritos…I have developed an affinity for them since I’m 2 hrs from Mexico. Love you chica!!
