Monday morning

Blog 729
Monday morning here as we begin our last week in Kenya. As usual I was the last one up. We had breakfast of fruit, a kind of pancake called chipati, and cooked green bananas. I also had my regular morning ripe banana. When we got the bananas for the banana bread I got a few extra so I  am able to start my day in my traditional fashion. Right after breakfast Ryan and Caleb went on a banga adventure whose goal was to find some suitable poles in the brush pile to fashion stilts. Success came quickly and soon Caleb was strutting about on the smaller pair while the rest of the company tried the larger version. Silas' mom even tried. I had flip flops on so have not taken a turn yet. Last time I was on stilts was when Ann and I were on them in MX. Ann was doing laundry so I was tending the hot water fire. That is a job I particularly enjoy. I love to get the big kettle steaming. Today we are invited to have lunch at pastor Josiah's house. It will be an hour ride in our chariot. Silas says it will be nearer the mountains and we will see scenery we have not yet experienced here. He has farm work to catch up with after three weeks of class so be will not accompanying us. Hillary will be our faithful chauffeur and Tony, a friend who has been visiting Silas the last few days will be going along. Time for me to get cleaned up. Have not been doing so well with the pix uploading. If I get to better coverage I would love to upload another church video. Until next time. Art
