Scorpions and...It is so good to get news from you! Scorpions and swine flu are not what I was imagining but they both sound like they hurt. Were the 3 cases of swine flu in your PC group? Did they have to go back? I am so glad you will not be returning to your host family although I know you are probably not happy about their situation. A loan shark? Selling your services? What is that? It sounds like you got out just in time. Did you get there with all of your luggage? You never mentioned losing anything on the planes but it was a concern before you left. I know Bonnie will post when she sees this and she has an idea about how I can call you from her house. I will tell her you have posted. Thank you for letting us know you will be safe. Scorpions sting like the devil. I sent you letter today and will wait to see if you get it. Is your mail being forwarded until you get to final destination? I hope I get to send your next letter to your new post...or maybe you will have email. <br><br>Love to you from home.deannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06859160117149012787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3652913178267408726.post-42736416373946311092009-08-31T19:07:51.866-07:002009-08-31T19:07:51.866-07:00Hi Karen!! Dee gave me your blogspot address so I ...Hi Karen!! <br><br>Dee gave me your blogspot address so I can follow your adventures in Africa. I was of course horrified by the posting on the 31st of August but trust that you are better now and am very thankful that you didn't come down with the flu. <br><br>You are on such a wonderful adventure there and I am certain it will be fun to follow you as time goes on.<br><br>We all love and miss you here and look forward to hearing about your life and activities there!!<br><br>Love JohnJohnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18303955428634785222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3652913178267408726.post-60925336569048086182009-09-04T05:50:48.234-07:002009-09-04T05:50:48.234-07:00Karen/MolenboengAll I can say is WOW. I love your ...Karen/Molenboeng<br>All I can say is WOW. I love your last blog, and knew there was some stress in the last few. This one made me happy!! But, now, I wonder what else has happened. Such a heavy load it seemed to be, and no time for rest? Everyone needs quiet time and time to regroup.<br><br>Your assignment sounds wonderful. Will you be there for the full 2 years? I love the sound of your new living arrangements. God knew where you needed to be, and your new place pleases your Mother!! I hope the town has a good food market.<br><br>I went to the new doctor on Tuesday. Very busy day. Physical, eye test, blood work and all the body parts. She took a lot of time with me..ha, she is new and I must have been the only patient for the day. Then I took Mom to her favorite Red Lobster, a little shopping then off for the mamogram. whew, what a day, but I knew that you would be pleased that I am now caught up on my doctor stuff.<br><br>My life in Leitchfield sounds very boring, as we don't do much, so there is not much to tell. But we all love to hear about your stories. The national news is still full of Michael Jackson, and I am so tired of it. I was never a fan, but am beginning to hate him. Also the news the last few days is full of the story of an 11 year old girl who was kidnapped and held captive for 18 years. She bore her kidnapper 2 children. And the health care reform is not going well at all. The economy sounds to be doing a bit better. Our president Obama is almost totally grey haired.<br><br>Pap and I are doing well. We are just living our usual life, so there is not much to tell. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, as are many, many friends of ours. Just stay safe, and please find time to enjoy.<br><br>We miss you and love you so much.<br>Momjzieglerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02506586023450009526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3652913178267408726.post-67792633190694017462009-09-04T11:53:25.168-07:002009-09-04T11:53:25.168-07:00I'm so grateful right now for Google Maps. I ...I'm so grateful right now for Google Maps. I found the college you mentioned and saw it from about 1000 ft in the air. It is between Retief St. and Kolbe St. on Auret St. It looks like a regular neighborhood although I did see something about state of the art dust suppression systems. I hope you will be comfortable there. Potchefstroom 2531, South Africa. When are you going to write? I will look around the area more later with the Google Map. It is very cool to actually see the place you wil be. I wish we could get you to hang out a window and wave at us! Be well.<br>Deannadeannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06859160117149012787noreply@blogger.com
