28th August

My, my how time flies when you are having fun, is the saying. And it is true too. I have been having so much fun sewing up a storm. I am so tired by the end of the day and remember that this is also work. I am making uniforms for our children’s choir at church. I have so far made the patterns for two sizes of shirts and sewed five shirts. I could have had more done, but I have had to play house the past few days as we have given the house girl a few days off to go and visit her family. I have been cooking and cleaning in ways that I have not been doing for a while. I know that most of you are thinking that I am a baby if I am not keeping my house by my self. Life is so different here without the convenience of all the gadgets of western life. In other ways I am enjoying it though. I get to cook all the western food that I want and no one can stop me. Like right now for supper I am in the middle of cooking Sloppy Joes and French Fries, store bought and frozen. (My first time to buy like that, but I think that it will not be the last.) We even bought really America catsup. If you can’t tell I am just a little bit excited to eat. I just wish that I had an oven to cook the fries instead of frying them in cooking oil over a charcoal fire. It is taking forever.
