Every-day fun


Sometimes we miss the good things that are right in front of us.


Bananas growing right next to our yard

(note: this is not a banana TREE, it is a banana STEM; its "trunk" is very weak, and it reproduces through suckers that grow right next to it)










A delicious home-cooked meal

This one includes ripe bananas and a salad.  Salads are definitely a treat for us, as our groceries are usually very limited due to very bad roads.




Fun found in making a fort out of a bunkbed, using living room cushions, and bedding; and creativity in figuring out how to make crocheted finger puppets without a pattern.









K & L cracking egusi with their friends - something that needs to be done, but which has become a favorite pastime :).

Egusi is similar to pumpkin seeds, but is ground up.  We like egusi as an addition to some of the non-American food we eat - like cabbage stew and njamanjama.  See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egusi for some info on this amazing food.




And of course, there is our kitten, who provides hours of amusement for everyone.  We laugh as she discovers a mirror (and the kitten on the other side!), and as she plays with everything in sight.
