Happy March!

March 2, 2014

Seeing light at the end of my tunnel now that we will have a month's break in the States.  Got a gazillion things to do as we're getting ready to reunite with family for a few weeks.  Today was a nice Sunday..Relaxed and enjoyed awesome pizza at the Timbali Lodge the heaven valley, "Ezulwini." 

Alyssa and I have been enjoying quality evenings together.  We've been having pajama parties, baking and eating cookies, hot chocolate, and doing games and puzzles..She's been into it and this is going on our third day of pajama partying.  I'm all for it..Whatever that can get her excited for bed time is good for me.  This past weekend, we've also been in the "blast from the past" movies from the Back to the Future Trilogy to Sound of Music.  She loved them all and so do I.  I never get tired of classics..Sure beats watching Garfield, Pink Panther or Scooby doo!  But then again, I'm not much of a TV person.

A "margarita pizza" which is equivalent to a US plain cheese pizza.  Yummm and oven-flamed from Boma's (Timbali Lodge) in Ezulwini.
 
 
As I was driving home this week, there was a man peeing on the side of the road.  I can clearly see the water but dared not look..I tried to avoid eye contact but as soon as I looked up after turning my head, he looked back at me and smiled.  Gee..the nerve!  In other news..The Swazis have scooped up and laid down cement blocks on just a patch of the curve road on my street.  Nice to do that corner but it will take a while to do the entire road!  I guess little by little it will be done but why just that short strip?
 
Will continue collecting random thoughts as the week goes along.  I overcame a large hurdle by getting back on the horse yesterday.  Leslie told me to come in Alyssa's lesson just to get back on the horse.  I was still quite tense when the horse(s) wouldn't budge.  She asked me to go get Nono (Alyssa's horse) from the stable and when I tried to pull her out, she wasn't cooperative.  I guess she can tell, "this girl got no power in her."  In the back of my mind, I can imagine her throwing a tantrum and kicking at me.  So I grabbed one of the workers to help.  Then when I got on Rainbow, the same horse that decided to eat one day when I was on him as I gently tumbled off, wouldn't do what I ask yesterday.  So we ended up taking a nice easy trail ride.  They are like little children, they can be naughty and get away with it.  Just don't get a 900 lb child angry.
 
Woohoo..I'm leaving some grayness for lots of sunshine!  'Til next time..
