We've now been back on the Dark Continent since Sunday. Filled most of our time with getting settled back into our home. Have also been getting reacquainted with the office. And, have reestablished old friendships.... something that I've enjoyed very much.
I came back with Gracey, Liddy, Ethan, Tawnee and Esther. Janice is still in the States with the remaining children. They will remain there for the next couple of months as there are some things that need her personal touch.
Last night was interesting: Our backup generator caught fire. We were able to get it turned off before much damage was done. However, the control unit was fried pretty bad. A couple of us tried to patch it back together, which I think we could've done, but we gave up once we realized that some of the connectors had melted so badly their condition was beyond our expertise to fix. So, we spent the night without electricity. It is good that the temperatures are not too bad (low 80's at night) but it is awefully humid. Some of the kids slept on our screened front porch.
More later.
