Well, we are all preparing for the big bash tonight in the village. The boys are out buying the food...Joel (one brother) wanted to kill the fatest pig but Meme said "NO!" Then she told me they are eating too much already and are lazy so they can't kill the pig!
The whole family except 2 brothers and myself are sick with a cold...so I took a car load of them to the health clinic from some treatment...it cost them $4 namibian dollars-that is about 30 cents US. I'm fighting the cold, but don't know if I will succumb.
Tomorrow we are headed to Walvis Bay to surprise Maria, a sister, who is turning 26 on Friday. I am looking forward to some cool ocean air and fresh fish! If I don't eat chicken or potatoes again it will be too soon!
Also today I had the pleasure of meeting the first family I will interview. Their son is full of such joy and energy-it really brightened my day to see and play with him! He only wanted to find small rocks on the ground and through them on top of the tin shed to hear the "clink." He would then run around and smile! What fun!
Happy new year!

Happy New Year, Maggie! I miss you, but feel like I'm there as I read your blog.
Keep 'em coming!

Happy New Year Maggie!
Watched the Rose Bowl parade. It looked much warmer in California. They had a band from Blue Springs that will also perform in the inauguration. Hopefully, the fish is good!
Take care,
