Happy New Year

Sorry still no pictures. The internet cafes don't seem to have the capability to upload them. I had a quiet New Year. Dickson was traveling for business. I did go to the beach again yesterday. It was Goat bath day. The pigs were still hanging out but the goats seem to chase them off. I have tons of pictures to share with you all one of these fine days!!

Greetings

Sorry no pictures. Dickson and I traveled to Ghana on Dec 24th. I really like it here we are in Nungua which is right outside the Capital Accra. I hope to make it to the beach on Wednesday and take a bunch of pictures this coming week. Christmas for us was very quite. We did observe Church outside with about 5,000 people who attended for 4 days straight. They went home some nights. They definitely know the Christmas is about Christ here!

Red Cross

All Done with the New Do!!

The finished product!!

New Hair Style!! What do you think?

This is Amy she is Yoruba decent. She did my hair tonight. Right out in front of the aparments. I thought a few people were going to crash there car. They were shocked to see a white person. They were not paying attention to their driving. It only look about 1 hour to do my hair. She said it should last for 2 weeks. I will be lucky to keep it for 1 week.

New Meaning to doing the Laundry

I have a great Husband!! I know in the States we complain that our husbands don't do enough, but Dickson can take a break. This is him doing our laundry. You 1st put it in a bucket of soapy water (it has laundry soap in it) then you let the clothes soak. Then you scrub them like your getting a stain out but you do all the clothes. Then you put them in another bucket to rinse them. Sometime you have to fill the rinse bucket a few times. Then you rink them out by hand and put them into another bucket to go take out to the Solar Dryer!!

Toliet

Bathrooms here are called the Toliet. The shower room is seperate. When there is no water you have to pour a bucket of water in the toliet to make it flush. Remember I am living in a house of 4 guys.

Issues

I tried to post more pictures today, but the internet connections is just to slow. Since we are running of the generator. Nothing works right! 5 day now no power!! I hope we have it again soon. We do use the generator at night so we can at least sleep.

Ralph's Kitchen Photo 2

This is the left hand side of the kitchen see the big blue plactic containers. They hold water. Water doesn't run 24/7 here so you have to fill up these containers every day, so you can do the dishes and take your bucket shower (more about those next time). Also we are lucky and have a microwave. Not that it is used much. There is one shelf that they keep dry goods on. Kithens are the bare minimum here. Usually you only have one main meal a day. At night. In the morning they usually have tea and a slice of bread. Oh My Husband made me so happy last night.He found peanut butter (I was never a huge fan). I bought honey today so I can have peanut butter and honey sandwiches. I had them as a kids. You always need comfort food when your away from home.
