Happy {Canadian} Thanksgiving!

Well, even though we don’t get Monday off from work (that’s what you get for working at an international school in Kenya I guess), Happy Thanksgiving! Typically, we’d spend this Sunday afternoon celebrating our thankfulness (and our Canadianness) with friends here. But, this year, we’re celebrating the birthday of one of the most helpful people we know – Lispha, our house worker. She’s worked for us for 5 years now, and we’ve loved having her in our home. So, with the Krymusas (she also works for them), we’ll be hanging out with Lispha and her family this Sunday, which happens to be her birthday. The days are still hot and sometimes humid here these days, and we’re still not quite getting the heavy rains we need so badly right now – though, last night it did rain a bit, and so we’re hoping this will bode well for more of the wet stuff to combat the brown dry conditions. I understand that it snowed this last week in Saskatchewan…honestly, can you send it our way? We’ll even take the cold that goes with it!

Just wanted to let you all know (and JUDE especially, sorry I’ve been so negligent!) that I’ve also updated the gallery with pictures from summer and the beginning of this school year, so click on the link (it’s on the left of side of the page) and check out pics from our time in the UK and Canada.

Enjoy the turkey!
