Christmas day was quite a great day here at Oshikondiilongo. I woke up around 6:15 with the sun, went for a walk with my dog Jack and the other dog named Spot. They were playing and swimming in the oshanas (pools of rain water). It is nice to see my dog Jack playing although he is not well (remember he has an STD that has turned into cancer and a dislocated hip!). Then I came home and just helped the girls cook and was with the family.
We had two big meals throughout the day. The first meal consisted of fried chicken, potato salad with hotdogs, baked beans and carrot salad, cooked cabbage, macaroni pasta with ketchup, and sodas!
Then the evening meal came…have you ever been sitting at a holiday dinner and felt a bug crawling in your hair? Well, as I was sitting there, I could feel something large inching through my hair…the room was dark and we had just begun to begin eating, so I was trying to not get worked up…but I couldn’t find it. I continued eating thinking perhaps it was in my mind that something was crawling on my scalp…but I decided to dig again in my hair. Sure enough, there was a large flying beetle that I was able to pull out and toss to the side of the table without anyone knowing the difference! That is the luxury of eating in a room with no light!
