The only American chain in east Africa. And it really feels and looks and smells like a Subway! The main difference is that no pork products are served, as it is owned by a Muslim.
A typical road…on my way to the grocery store.
“Shopper’s Supermarket”–one of just a few grocery stores in town that sells imported goods. This store just doubled in size a couple weeks ago and oh my…you would have thought Disneyland had just come to town from the reaction of friends (and myself!).
Just got my new washing machine last week and started using it today. If you want to know what happened to my old washing machine, well…we’ll just leave that in the archives. This one has a plastic top, just like the old one. And in reading the “warnings” section of the manual today (I’m an instructions-reader), I found this, “Do not put a candle light or cigarette light on the washer. A fire may take place.” Hmmm….
Daddy made a house for Gracie from the box!
Drying clothes. No one uses clothes dryers here.
The other members of our family: Daisy (white lab) and Minnie (Jack Russell terrier). Dogs are an important means of security here, but we also just like dogs. So does Grace. She thinks they are hysterical when they chase each other.
Grace’s room. She still sleeps in the Pack n’ Play, but the big bed is ready for her when she gets a little brother!

Amy, I stayed with you when I came to HOPAC, summer of 2006. I “googled” your name to see if there was a way of catching up you guys. You were such a blessing when I stayed with you guys. I was so happy to see that you guys got a baby! I remembered that you had been wanting to adopt a Tanzanian. So awesome! I hope that everything is going well! I hope to come back to Tanzania some day. I really want my husband to come and experience everything:)

hey..this is Sam Neylan…TMC.
Your blog is super cool on many levels. However, i’m commenting because the pic with the 2 dogs is FABULOUS! It made me laugh…it’s rare when one can capture the joy that dogs seem to have in the chase.
So, I know there are deeper things in your lives and that God is using you guys, but I wanted to comment on something that that randomly made my day!
grace & peace!
