why so quiet?

Well into the New Year of 2008, we have still posted little here in the
past few weeks. Thanks for checking in anyway, if you're reading this.
I promise to get some pictures up soon, along with a bit more narrative
about what we've been up to. The short version is that we went to the
beach over New Years' weekend, were out most of that week, and have
moved across town to house-sit for some out of town friends. We haven't
been at the office much, and some days we work from home, and don't have
internet there yet.


Things are settling down again, though. Jeff and Christi are back here
with their two school-age kids -- it was their house we lived in til
now. They are the ones who offered us volunteer work here with the
organizations they're with, so we expect to be working with them. Our
friends Ann and Ray have left town with their kids on furlough til July,
and it's their house we live in now. We hope to go up north this spring
with some visiting ex-pats, to see what the hot arid north looks like
and to get a look at RELUFA's food bank program first hand. We might
head to the coast to watch the marathon up Mt. Cameroon in February.
French is still hard. Everyone we work with or see regularly is still
friendly and helpful. We live near a lot of mission workers and a
missionary school now, so there are a lot of English speakers in our new
neighborhood. We're taking dance lessons with some of them. We watched
a Columbo DVD last night.


More soon! Peace and love in the New Year!
