Some boat on the Lake, tied to the landing.
Now, please do not be jealous or feel forgotten, but I do have to let my little cousin Sierra know there is one little Ugandan girl born a week before Christmas Eve very early in the morning. Her mother asked if I would give her an American name. I thought and thought going through relative after relative. My goal was to find something unique that I had not heard yet here in country (and because the mother wished for something unique as well) and something that could be pronounced with Ugandan English. I have always found Sierra to be a very pretty name and being as I was quite on the spot to come up with the perfect name, I think the result was appropriate. Living in a compound with a midwife will probably provide other opportunities to name babies, but I wanted to let you know about this special first naming. Of course I had the privilege for no other reason than being a
muzungu, but that's okay with me.
Making roasted G-nut paste (Ugandan peanut butter). Turned out pretty good, just a tad burnt.
The bakery up the road from my village. These little morsels are
delectably rich in cooking oil, but they are rather tasty too.
Me preparing my beans Maama Gertrude gave me to be dried so I can enjoy cooking them for a day before eating them.
Inside my organization's maize mill. Yummy yummy posho...
Bicycles are used to transport just about everything from charcoal (seen here) to people. *And for taking on the go photos as well...hehe
Children from the next village over carrying water back to their homes...Their water hole is literally that too, not good.
Maama Gertrude and one of her friends on the veranda on their way to church.
A smiling goat...at least I think so...
One of the monkeys over by the police station, on the hill overlooking the landing. It's a neat place.
Ducks and Pig....someone asked to see wildlife (Dad) and this is what I got. Monkeys that snatch food out of your hand and roaming chickens, ducks, pigs, goats, and cows....
More cute, adorable ducks. But I must say, they are definitely cuter when they are young because some of the local species are as attractive as turkeys.
Here is Korie and Medi, my two chapatti guys, that's about all I have to say about them. They're nice too.
