Chameleon Hat

W has been trying to catch and keep (which is the hard part) a chameleon.  I caught this one making a hazardous road crossing on the way back from the field where we were inaugurating a women's vegetable gardening project today.  What he will do with it now, besides wearing it on his head, I don't know.  I admit it is a pretty weird and interesting critter, or as L exclaimed, "mommy its a little creature on his head."  I also know that if it escapes in the house it may wish it had become road kill.

New Project

Perhaps you expected the new project to be food security, literacy or wells.  Well, I have decided if I don't get a hobby my brain my explode.  I know, i know.  I don't have time to write on the blog because I have too much work and not enough energy.

So why do I need a project?  Because I have too much work.  Hopefully this is the "before" shot, to be followed by an "after" that will be blog worthy.  If you never see the "after" you may assume the worst.

What prompted this "project" was that I have not gotten my motorcycle papers from the customs office.  When I called to find out how much it was going to cost to get the papers and tags they told me a price that is probably more than half the value of the bike.

  We have a "guy" who takes care of this stuff for us and he instructed me to take it apart.  He said, "all they need is the number off of the chasis and the less they think your bike looks like its worth the better."  This might appear a bit dishonest until you consider that I am trying to avoid being cheated.  Ah, the games we play.  Trust me, enjoying the game is all part of the secret of surviving in Africa.

She actually suggested her own title for this post**

Sahel Field Day

New duds...

UPDATE - L is doing much better, back to her old self. Thanks for the prayers!

New dresses, picked out by Daddy, make for very big smiles around here.

Fevers, not so much.

Please pray for our little Liliputian, as she has been battling illness off and on for about two weeks now.

She was fever free for five days and today her temp is back up to 104.

Also, our beloved nou-nou (babysitter) is on a pilgrimage to Mecca, please pray for her safety.
