These first ones speak for themselves, moments of joy with the kids
I confess I do like cats better than dogs, but I don’t think Everest the cat is playing fair here, such a tease!
This was a super fun gathering – we had a meal at a Congolese family’s home. Sam & Anna have become quite close to them, there are MANY Congolese in Lesotho, surprisingly, and we spent a fun evening eating Congolese foods and speaking Lingala. Well, we (Roy & I) actually did more listening – what a joy to watch Sam interact with these friends in the language of his childhood!
In this playground, you have to watch out for the wandering emus. I had one thump me on the head with its beak as I was getting off the merry go round. These crazy birds are used to people, and they make the most wondrous drumming sound deep in their throats.
This is an entirely different bird, a turkey, and thankfully it was small enough to finish cooking in the microwave when the oven went on the blink on Christmas day! 
Cindy improvised with stovetop baking of her yummy crescent rolls and we had a delicious meal in spite of challenges! I won’t show you what the oven did to the first batch!
