shopping.

If you know me, you know that I am NOT a shopper.  But these past days, I have had great need to be one.  And not for fru-fru stuff.  For necessities!

Here are pictures of me and the Lewis boys (Benton and Davis) in Uchumi shopping center:

 Love the little shopping carts.  

They have big ones too of course, but the boys have fun pushing around the lil' ones.  

Walker is the one with his back to you.  He is really eyeing the candy.  :)

And today we got to visit the homeschooling resource center for East Africa.  It was so cool.  If you know me well, you also know that I LOVE books.  I think, no I know, that I could have spent all day long looking at the books in the center.  Instead, I chose several art books for homeschooling and checked out other fun books for me to read!  And I also grabbed two report cards to fill out for Davis!  Eeek!!!!  I am getting really excited to teach.

And I said no fru-fru stuff, but we did stop on the side of the road to buy the lovely basket you see below.  This lady was sitting there handmaking these colorful baskets.  I had to get one!  Now, I have a place for all my borrowed books when I get to Sudan!!!

Take every victory:
I also got to see some of my furniture today at the Baptist Mission of Kenya (BMOK) office.  I am so anxious to be home in Sudan.  To see it all in place, and be there with it!
Today I learned:
The Toposa people read goat entrails to see when it is going to rain.  And it's legitimate!  They really look at it scientifically!  They can tell by what the goats eat (because plants can sense when rain is coming) and by the goat blood, I think, when rain is coming.  Crazy, huh?
