Day 2 and a phone call

She called! After a couple of texts we had chance to chat this evening, albeit briefly as they charge $2/minute airtime (phew that keeps conversations to the necessities). All is going well, she is sharing a room (and bed) with Ann, one of the resident MD's. The whole team were all going to the local casino tonight to watch the Phillies.

Apparently it is very very hot and they have very large bugs! One text quote was "happiness is counting 35,000 vitamins out to give each kid a 2 month supply drinking a beer and listening to Jack Johnson."

So that's the news other than phone coverage is sporadic and text messages are also expensive, so we are now on messages as needed. Tomorrow they head to the refugee camp, so life gets really busy and contact will be very sporadic.

Other than that, back home I did role call.....there is still 1 dog, 2 cats, 1 kitten and 2 teenagers here this evening, so it seems everyone is correct and present. Everyone is fed and watered and it is now time to head to bed, so it is time for me to say goodnight and go Phillies!

Way to go on the blogging, Colin! Praying that this will be a great trip for Angie. I'm sure she will have many stories to tell! Miss you guys.


This is the best, glass of wine, dog by my side, watching my kids and goofy husband. Love them all :-)
