Friday, 26 February 2010

Hey there.  How are you?
 
We are fine.  Have a few who are under the weather, me included, with little things like upset stomachs, fatigue, etc.  So, we've just been laying low and not doing too much. 
 
We just finished with a group of 16 people who were having their yearly retreat.  They work for one of the missions in Chad.  Nice folks.  Even paid to have the generator operational during the first 3 days of this week.  My kids were thrilled.
 
2 days ago was the twins birthday.  In what has become sort of a Flude family tradition, one of the twins got sick and threw up 3 times.  I think she's the second or third kid to do that on their birthday.  Anyway, to honor the event we sang her "Happy Barfday" to the tune of "Happy Birthday".  Keturah had a great attitude about it and we all had a good laugh.
 
Today there are several electricians here.  We've got a number of electrical related problems (nothing major) and they're working to get all our lights and A/C units working.
 
Fridays are normally the day that Janice and I go to town on our weekly date.  We go shopping, have lunch, hit the post office (which is a surprisingly important part of the routine) and generally just hang out together.  Today, however, is a Muslim holiday so nothing's open.  We will go tomorrow, though, and enjoy some time away from the excitement of the family.
 
Hope you all have a great Friday and a fabulous weekend.
