Getting whipped into shape

Tuesday, May 22, 2012


 Having decided on groups – eggs, porridge, or eggs AND porridge we proceeded to breakfast.  We are still, however, getting adjusted to taxi schedules.  Richard’s early, we’re late.  We’re early, Richard’s late, we’re early.  Pam is whipping us into shape.  We’ll be early, Richard will be on time.

The morning was productive.  Bertie was concerned that there is nothing going on at playtime so organized games.  Unfortunately, the exertion wiped her out and she slept though library departure.  Lyn worked in second grade which was a downward stretch for her.  Roger/Ann returned to their former teachers working in various requested capacities.   Emily had a full day at the Clinic.  It was pregnant womans day so around 40 came in for ultrasound.  She also worked with the pharmacist preparing  folic acid and vitamins for each woman.

Lunch was a delight – a tremendous bowl of bananas, fried plantain, spicy beans (red with black eyes) into which we stirred cassava.  Kudos to Pam for getting the kitchen to provide local fare.
