Wednesday.....a bit of time in the evening before getting a shower for bed. I'm back on my early bed schedule so mornings can be spent with the Lord. No longer taking cold showers, heating water now, as the weather has changed and the humidity seems gone. We've had a lot of rain, but not that intense humidity we were praying to stop. We got stuck in a mud hole on the way to the mountain yesterday, four wheel drive stopped working, but Praise the Lord, it started again and with Barbara, Daniel and I on the back to give it some weight, Gary was able to slide through it. Made us late and the service had to be a bit shorter, but we got there and got back through the mud hole on our way out. It was kind of fun. Why should we be bored with routine, a little excitement now and then, like getting stuck in a mud hole, keeps life interesting!

We are having fun with the kids. They are beginning to speak English more clearly, complete sentences but yesterday, Faona asked if we were having "chokey" at the beach (on Friday, their treat for working so hard for nine weeks). I thought it was a Creole word so I asked Daniel what it was. His reply was, "Oh, Chokey is a movie." About that time, I figured it out. She was saying "turkey". We'd had turkey for Thanksgiving, and she'd like some at the beach. Her asking let me know that the baked turkey they all got was really a treat.

Maybe we'll do it again for Christmas!
