http://clymerolson.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

Tea under the tree with neighbors and a visiting "flat neice". Spending the night at one of our colleague's homes. Happy cousins and siblings. Walking the back forty. Kokoo serving us more tea. Tuesday, October 14, 2014. Finished with my plate, I rub the grease into my skin like a therapy, shake more hands, smile and thank profusely, and ...

In Kenya: Skink
http://clymerolson.blogspot.com/2014/06/skink.html
We took a three year assignment with Mennonite Central Committee in Najile, Kenya. Read on for our stories. Wednesday, June 11, 2014. Last week, I awoke at my usual time. When the sun comes up and goes down at exactly the same time every day, your body gets into a predictable rhythm of sleep and rising. Mine is about 7 a.m, give or take. 8221; I fussed (what I meant was, bigger than the regular old 3-8 inches of ugly lizard that we sometimes have crawling around the corners of our house.). At the door, I...

We took a three year assignment with Mennonite Central Committee in Najile, Kenya. Read on for our stories. Saturday, March 21, 2015. We did not go to Kenya do so something great. We went to be formed. And we were.". This is what I found myself saying to a dear friend as we had our final goodbye conversations. The truth of this may be found winding through the stories told on this blog and of those never written down, but held in memory. I'd love if you would join me at my pre-Kenya blogging site. I rema...

We took a three year assignment with Mennonite Central Committee in Najile, Kenya. Read on for our stories. Wednesday, March 4, 2015. 6 days till we leave Najile.

For a lady, a "very smart" dress I had made by the local seamstress. March 5, 2015 at 8:33 PM. SOOOO happy to hear they got other funding! 4 Days till we l...

In Kenya: December 2014
http://clymerolson.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
We took a three year assignment with Mennonite Central Committee in Najile, Kenya. Read on for our stories. Thursday, December 11, 2014. Analysis of Maasai Dutch Blitz. Sweet victory, any way you can get it! When immersed in a culture different from my own, I'm constantly aware of the differences. Perhaps if I were to stay for 25 years, eventually I'd forget about the contrasts, but I'm not so sure. Yesterday we played Dutch Blitz. Here is where cultural nuances began to emerge. The game of Dutch Bli...

We took a three year assignment with Mennonite Central Committee in Najile, Kenya. Read on for our stories. Thursday, February 5, 2015. A little Fashion Advice. NO, no, no, no! Nalamai exclaimed. Disapproving. Not O.K. This would never do! You must have "olokesena". I had just ventured into the complex world of Maasai fashion. Oh, she said, you hate pink. Well, let's see. And on went my fashion consult, till I convinced her that a dark blue would do me just fine! Here's what I've learned about Maasai Fas...

In Kenya: 4 Days till we leave Najile
http://clymerolson.blogspot.com/2015/03/4-days-till-we-leave-najile.html
We took a three year assignment with Mennonite Central Committee in Najile, Kenya. Read on for our stories. Friday, March 6, 2015. 4 Days till we leave Najile. First thing came a power outage after three passes of the hair clippers over Doug's head in the early morning sunshine. Thankfully, the generator hadn't been moved to Nairobi just yet. Doug went down to our neighbors where he finished up the plumbing system he designed with them for their new house. Its a basic hook-up to the public water pipe.
