All here and ready to serve

It’s raining. That’s not unheard of here. It actually rains almost every day this time of year. Usually it lasts about half an hour but tonight it’s been raining for more than an hour.

Liane, Eric, Katherine & Tim arrived this week. So far, so good. One day all together and no major upheavals. J I think they’re mostly settled in. Clothes are put away, groceries have been bought, beds have been made.

Today was relaxing - church, lunch, playing Ultimate Frisbee - some of it in the rain, watching a movie. Tomorrow begins the orientation. We’ll do some housework, some planning, some learning and some fun. And we don’t have to provide dinners for the first week thanks to the Support Committee.

Thanks to the rain doing yard work should be easier tomorrow morning. And the best part - it will probably be the last yard work we do for the year - unless we plant a garden. But that’s minimal compared to having to mow weekly, rake leaves or shovel snow.

That’s about it for now. More after our week of orientation.

Peace
