Acoss the Atlantic and Half a Continent


Most of you go about your daily lives... working, watching TV, going out to eat when you don't feel like cooking or better yet ordering food. I do the same except most of my time is consumed by other things. I figured I'd work out a chart so you could picture what I'm up to at the time you think about me. Keep in mind this is MY 'typical so far' M-F Ugandan schedule nobody elses. If this were Sunday it would be dominated by laundry and cooking.

Sorry the charts a bit fuzzy but I hope its readable.

I can thank spending my childhood Up North at my grandparents cabin for preparing me to wash dishes by hand and cooking on an open fire :)


I would like to take a minute and thank my good friend Betty Thompson for all the good times and good food we shared at Wildwood. She passed away last week and I have been thinking about her a lot lately. She was a co-worker of mine in Oregon and has made my summers absolutely wonderful! She was the closest thing to Betty Crocker I have ever seen with her amazing homemade cooking. Thank you Betty for all the wonderful memories I shall always carry with me and the great work you have done at Wildwood. Always kept the spirits high of everyone and gathered the group together for family dinners. I know the whole Wildwood Crew misses you very much and so do I. 


Now on a happy note again my furniture is in fact ready! I saw it myself. For the past 4 days... 'tomorrow it will finish'.... 'tomorrow it is done'.... ugh. But YAY! This could be the end of me living out of my suitcase! Whoa! I think I forgot what it must feel like not to rummage around in a giant suitcase looking for one item for 15 minutes! And tomorrow I get to plant my garden... good things are coming this way!

  3. Your schedule compared to mine is an interesting read. Thank you for posting! You should do a before and after photo of your home. It will be a fun thing to look back on and it will show how you adapated to your environment.
