And Both Were Young: December 2009
http://topazandturquoise.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 30, 2009. This 'n' That with Strange Weather. We needed to go to the store some time this week, and I didn't want to do it on New Year's Eve, so that left us with . . . today. Since our housekeeper Mary is off for the holidays, we naturally didn't pass up the opportunity to have a meal in town. I chose the Ethiopian restaurant, Habesha, and though Lari didn't seem to enthusiastic at the start (which was a surprise) we certainly cleared the entire platter this time. Finally Lari manag...

And Both Were Young: October 2011

Monday, October 31, 2011. Pirates and Fairy Princesses. Since we moved to Kenya when Larissa was three, and since Halloween is not something majorly celebrated here, she hasn't had much exposure to this particular holiday. The closest she came was being a black and white cat for the Fall Festival at our old school. He also had with him light up gummy pumpkins. Light up gummies have always been a big hit at our house. As the sun set this evening I had Larissa demonstrate what one looked like. He had to li...

Wednesday, October 16, 2013. Baringo Trip Day 1: False Start. This year something new was tried with our school schedule. Rather than having a "Long Weekend" each month, a week-long break was designed for the middle of the semester. This was in the hopes that more students would be able to go home, since parents might be willing to pay one ticket for a whole week. The break began Wednesday, October 16, at 12:30 and ran until the following Wednesday night. When nothing seemed to work, the Corkum's car was...

Monday, June 07, 2010. A few scenes from the remainder of our trip back to Campina. A stork in its nest. These are a fairly common sight along the road and often at this time of year they have babies in them. It was only now, however, that I realized that there are actual baskets there for the storks to build their nests in. Speaking of Christmas, this is the Christmas (Craciun) village. Gypsy women along the side of the road. I love the colorful skirts. Another woman walking ahead of us. This town has m...
