I’m So Sick…..

After a half-dozen sticks - Magdala managed to get an IV in me this morning. Tomorrow night is … Continue reading I’m So Sick…..
Pictures of the Courtyard…
There are a lot of lights that still need to be "worked" on. Some of our gingerbread scenes aren't cooperating. The pictures don't do justice. When you walk in the courtyard - the Christmas music is blaring and the lights are overwhelmingly beautiful!!
Christmas is saved….. ??
So the last few days all of the employees have been so depressed. Our big Christmas party is this weekend -and there was little hope we would still have it with the compound getting dark at 6pm every night. The entire courtyard is decorated and yet it's pitch black. If one child has asked - … Continue reading Christmas is saved….. ??

Keeping Up with the Jones….I mean the Owens!
Around October (during the surgery team) I started to become ill. Magdala kept telling me she thought I was pregnant so on a fluke I thought I might just check to see if we were - all fun and games - Right? Nope! The timing of this pregnancy as well as the thought of another … Continue reading Keeping Up with the Jones….I mean the Owens!
We Don’t Say That…..
