I wasn’t going to update the blog tonight, because I’m dog-tired and because I knew it would take FOREVER to download any pictures with the internet connection here such as it is. BUT then I opened the file of pics from this afternoon, and I just had to share them – I guess updating the blog here tonight is my way of saying, “I wish you could have been there!”Jane picked Dats and me up at Cowman School after the final bell – 2:30. (By the way, my classroom time felt very productive to me this past week – I think I accomplished everything in person that I knew I couldn’t over the internet.) We were happily joined by the Bundy kids.When we arrived at Jane’s house, we quickly headed down the road to pick up the kids from The Potter’s House …
When we got to the orphanage, we found that we had missed them – they were walking by the main road to Bud and Jane’s house! The Bundys got a quick tour of the house. I didn’t get a good picture of the “dining room” the other day, so I snapped one today. To the right is a long table and the colorful things on top are baskets. I assume some of the evening’s meal had already been prepared and the overturned baskets are meant to keep the insects at bay. Can you imagine cooking for 18 kids and 4 adults every day?
They were waiting for us!
It didn’t take too long before the boys (and a handful of girls) were playing soccer. Kids were running every which way.
Some of the girls were clustered around baby Sammy, giving him lots of attention – and he was eating it up. Bud and Jane say that he’s a natural “chick magnet”.
And before we knew it, the afternoon was over and the Potter’s kids headed homeward down the lane to prepare for their evening meal – a meal made possible tonight by some of YOU who are reading this. You know who you are – thank you so much and God bless you.
