Out our window

In a blog about blogs, I was given the idea for this post. You can see the challenge here:

All of our windows here have bars on them, both vertical and horizontal bars for security. The windows are louver windows, which allows the air to come through, but not the rains. We are moving into the end of dry season (haven't had rain for months..not even a tiny drop.) So...that is what our windows are like. *The window in the picture is Naomi's-as you can see, her curtains are pink. Actually, ALL three of the girls' curtains are hot pink.

When we look out our back windows we see the big mango tree. It is loaded with fruit, slowly ripening. We have just found out that Naomi is allergic to mango skin. Poor kid-she eats fruit every day and is mourning her inability to be able to grab one of the thousands on this tree in a few weeks.

Now you know what we see out our back window...along with our water tanks, banana trees, orange trees, etc. Even in the dry season, there is much beauty around.

Busy few weeks coming up. Tonight is the middle school party at school-rooms filled with food, board games, computer games and a big room for dancing. Guess what I am in charge of? HINT: I am REALLY out of my comfort zone for this responsibility! tee hee hee Yep, I am in charge of the dance room. Fortunately a "Middle School Dance" usually looks like kids just sitting around the edge of the room while a few play around in the middle while loud music pumps in the background.

Jon and Lauren head out in the morning for a Purity Retreat. Jon is one of the mentors and Lauren is attending with many of her classmates. Mattie, Naomi and I are bunkering down for the weekend and enjoying some "girl time" together.

Off to get ready for the big par-tay! Hip Hip Horray!
