One BUG happy family
October 30th, 2013
Well, here it is on the eve of Halloween. And it doesn’t
even feel like – although the lightning and thunder, does set the mood. In my neighborhood, I think I’m one if the few
houses with a generator as the storm has caused an outage now since 7 PM. I was at a bible study and the family didn’t
have a generator..How can you say “hardship” when others have it worst! Nevertheless, I am thankful for having the
generator as we have electricity and TV but no Internet, as I write this
post.
Highlights of this week – Alyssa wanted a pet so bad…So
daddy went out and got some ants to put in a tall jar. They seem to like it, especially since daddy
got some of the sprinkles from my baked goods shelf to put in the jar. She even had names for them – one of them
Jack. However, he used Saran Wrap with
one or two holes..I doubt that was enough air for them as they were still
sleeping in the morning. So yesterday he
grabbed a lady bug and put it in a jar for Alyssa..Pet #2. Ugh..I come home and find that he’s collected
2-3 millipedes..Those things with many legs!!
Methinks they better stay contained.
In the meantime, we are one big happy bug family. Another practice is learning to unplug modem and phone line during these bad storms. I guess it is better than tornados and hurricanes. Hail last weekend was quite heavy and could have damaged my car's windshield.
I just learned good news that my big household shipment is in Durban however the storms have kept the crates from
moving to Mbabane..I sure am missing my stuff and feeling it. From my dish, to hangers and to my shopping
bags. I guess patience has its
virtue. I will learn to appreciate
things more. My U.S. stamps ordered from USPS web site have arrived
so I’m ready for cards and Christmas time!!
This past weekend, went to a Halloween party. It was fun but it also rained so we were
stuck in doors..We had scary stories, we had treats and..well I didn’t stay for
the tricks. Alyssa got to be the
astronaut and momma got to be Pocahontas.
I’ve wanted to be her for some time, especially when my hair was long. I had the straight hair but not the
length. Check it out.

Mami got to be one to hand out treats to the kids!!
