Well, we’ve crossed the half-way point of our stay with 9 weeks in
So, I have been doing a lot of reading. I scope out books from the libraries of other muzungus who are mainly British and Canadian, so I’ve expanded my knowledge of British and Canadian authors.

I see the book, How To Be Good by Nick is not highly recommended, not supprising! I don't suppose you can get a copy of Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert? Very funny, poignant and the author is in her 30's, traveled to Italy, India, & Indonesia for very distinct reasons. You'd love her writing style, I think of you every time I pick it up. I'd send it to you if you could get it before you come home. Do you have a mailing address? Kim & Rick are coming for Thanksgiving, for which I'm very thankful. Audrey is doing well and Ani's new horse (6months old) is doing well. Her name is Belle Star. Reminds me of a saloon madame name. Much love to you three and your new friends.
Jenny on the Verde (sounds rather Shakesperean, no?)
Wow...a lot of reading.
Has Ani learned to read yet? What is she doing while you are reading? We love the blog and check it regularly.
Nik, you really are a good writer. Aunt Rose calls you the Erma Bombeck of our times. That's a true compliment. Love you and can't wait for the next entry.
love,
mom
