The PA called today with a glowing report. Basically, my heart is in great shape and the Cardiologist does not anticipate any cardiac incidents in the foreseeable future. So, I'm happy.
Etienne family update: Got on line and looked up what the two elementary school aged kids would need for school. Then Jerry & I filled the list. Took the supplies over today. Jean Marie will have a book bag waiting for him at school with some supplies in it already, we just filled in the blanks. Maritha's bag weighs a ton. She was sooooo happy when I told her these were HER supplies and the boys couldn't have any. They had to take everything out of the bag (6 pks of paper, 6 folders, 10 spiral notebooks, crayons, colored markers, pencils, colored pencils, glue, scissors etc.) and then put them all back.
I told the older boys I would get them a back pack each and see what supplies they need.
It is great to see what they are learning already. Words like hi, hello, Thank You!, numbers etc. Even the Papa is picking up words.
The neighbors have really opened their arms to this family. There is a boy (frosh at G-Prep) living two houses down. He is over quite a bit just talking and getting the kids used to English. There seem to be a few other refugee families in the area because a man from Rwanda came by today - he recognised the World Relief worker as she was taking the kids to the park and wanted to say Hi to the parents. And some women that were at the school meeting I attended last week came by to visit.
Wanted to get to the garden today to harvest the tomatoes before it freezes (yes, that ugly word is creeping into the weather forecast already). Didn't make it. Sewing class tomorrow. Maybe Wednesday? Who knows. At least I have brought my houseplants in.
