Not much point having a blog if you don't post to it huh?
I am sitting in Johannesburg at my cousins' (mom's) house using their ASDL line, what bliss compared to the dial up back at home in PMB.
I learned how to ride a horse yesterday!!! One of the big highlights of my weekend. I have always loved being around horses but have never had the courage to attempt going any faster than a walk on one....yesterday I made it to a canter (more and a few times). It was exilerating and so much fun (once I got over my feras). Only my body feels today like it has been beaten and dragged along the ground behind a truck. Pain and all it was a most rewarding experience. The second highight being that I got to see Caitlin and Hayley (my cousins). I was originally only going to stay one night the drive back but have now decided to stay on until tomorrow (Monday) so as to see them for as long as I possibly can. I miss them SO much when in the States and realise now just how much I am missing out. Family is everything and this one is one of the most loving and affectionate. It has been a fantastic weekend.
This week involves the bulk of the party co-ordination. The party is on Saturday. A covered dish lunch followed by tea with cake and deserts. We are also going to take gran to dinner (just us family) on Friday night, I am thinking of maybe Tala Valley Nature Reserve as their food is to die for and it is a setting where gran can't get to unless for an occasion.
I also have to figure out gifts for everyone back home - although I have had some requests, I think it will only be fair to us to get for those close to us and for those who buy us/me gifts while they are away on vacation....it really adds up when you try buy for everyone, and kind of sucks when it is not reciprocated whether in friendship or other means. This is selfish to a certain degree and is a tough decision but times are tight.
I am also trying to arrange to have my Dad's roof fixed it is badly rusted through in places which is causing the ceiling to cave in in many places. Again not an easy task as he is more stubborn than I am (I have to get it from somewhere) and will not take the help I want to give...oh well, I have a week to work on him then get a work order issued! Wish me luck.
Okay I should go help with supper. I will try post one more time before I leave. Sorry for the lack of com's. Decided not to get my own internet connection this time as it is just to costly which has meant less connectivity :( Not that I have missed it all that much, but I feel I owe it to all who read this to at least write something.....so here it is/was.
Cheerybyebye for now.
