Well, we're moved. As of yesterday evening, all of our stuff is out of the Corner house and into the Blue Tile house. I won't say it's very well organized, very neat, and it's hard to say how much unpacking we'll get done before we leave for Canada in a month, but at least we're here now, with some curtains up, the dining room table in an little island in the sea of boxes, and a random smattering of things unpacked. Home.
When we arrived in Tanzania in November of 2007, we "temporarily" moved into the corner house. It was supposed to be a short term solution while we renovated the blue tile house. Well, it's now May 2009 and we're renovating the blue tile house. Jeff & Jan arrive from Kitchener on the 19th (yup, that's Tuesday), so we are scrambling to get things ready. As of right now (T-6 days) we are painting Natasha's room, finishing the painting in the office, done painting the master bedroom, finishing up Jacob's room (unless we decide to re-paint some walls... sigh). The stair ...
We've had so many rainy days recently, much to the delight of the farmers (which in Tanzania means everyone), that today's blue skies and gentle breeze has brought out the same feelings that those first lovely days of summer always do. It's an invigorating feeling - you can't shut the door, you don't want to go inside, things as simple as freshly cut grass touch your senses in a beautiful way, and you wonder if it might just be possible to turn one of the 4wd trucks into a convertible. The seasons generally pass here without much note from us ...
6 websites, 3 cars, 2 laptops, our financial books, and a partridge in a pear tree. Things have been falling apart all around us, but we're still standing. At one point last week Davin was working on all three of our Pamoja vehicles at the same time. The oil pressure on the Nissan Safari had fallen to zero and refused to get back up (fortunately the engine did NOT seize). The Patrol, meanwhile, had it's left front wheel off as we fixed some of the bearings that had become oval shaped rather than circular. Then the Sunny, our little car, ...
Over the years the icewife site has been through several iterations. Here's another one. This one was brought on, not so much by choice, but by my webhost. Yesterday they crashed... and somehow, in a way they cannot explain to me, they don't have a backup. So, we're starting over. Over the next few days you'll start to see some content, and maybe we'll even start getting our newsletters up here. We'll see. It's all about having enough time.
