Morning as i walked to the market in my oversized sweatshirt. And leggings to buy talk time for my phone and then to the school to map out a plan for a mural. It was a joy...

Holy Monkeys!: dogs...
http://holymonkeys.blogspot.com/2014/01/dogs.html
Tuesday, January 28, 2014. They can make you feel safe, loved, annoyed, and sometimes downright terrified. here in zambia dogs are usually used as vicious guard dogs. and more than a few good people have been attacked/bitten by an overly territorial dog. call out, "imbwe! And people are guaranteed to jump a little. sometimes even run away (which can also be kind of funny). The point being. dogs here can be scary. I turned to guard myself and saw it. i mean, this thing was fierce. That was a close one.

Holy Monkeys!: January 2013
http://holymonkeys.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 8, 2013. Well, like i always tell you; draw near to God and He'll draw near to you.". These were the last words my beautiful grandma spoke in my ear as she hugged me goodbye christmas night. Now, as i sit on my bed in africa while my family makes funeral arrangements back home, these are the words that keep coming to mind, bringing with them a myriad of emotions. And then i hear her voice in my head, "draw near." and in my heart i know her words are true and full of wisdom. i kno...

Holy Monkeys!: day at the swimming hole
http://holymonkeys.blogspot.com/2014/01/day-at-swimming-hole.html
Wednesday, January 15, 2014. Day at the swimming hole. Why yes. yes we did swim in water that looks like greenish tinted milk. when in zambia. Not to mention the fact that there could've been crocs under there! Yeah didn't know that till after the fact. Abel decided to ride home on top of the car. Ezzie sat on the window to grab him if he started to fly off. ha! Giggles all the way home. especially when the car would "accidentally" get a little too close to trees hanging over the road. This looks SO FUN!

Holy Monkeys!: April 2012

Wednesday, April 11, 2012. I was up on the roof beams. Painting today, when i heard men shouting. from my lofty. View in the air (did i mention i'm afraid of heights? I saw two men who looked like they were beating something. or someone. I tried to listen closely and with every blow. Came a yell. (what in the world? I looked around trying to find someone who might be witnessing the same thing i was, hoping i was only imagining. Do you know what's going on. Are they attacking someone? A day on the farm.

Monday, February 27, 2012. Malaria with cars, cars with dogs, dogs that. bite. When i had malaria (yes it's true. A few weeks ago my initiation. Into the african culture was complete. at least i hope. So i had the blessing of getting malaria and a parasite all in the same. Week sweet.) i had some pretty amazing. Like for instance, i found myself at one point best. Friends with holly shiftwell (for those of you who haven't seen cars 2, it kind of rocks. And we experienced some awesome spy. Was i a car too?
