August 5th 2011
After spending a couple of nights in the village with mom we decided to make one trip to Gaborone and to keep going up north.
Wednesday, August 3rd, we had a quiet day in Thamaga and apart from cleaning and cooking I was busy making tea for half a dozen ladies that came to a meeting called by mom. It was about a trip to Palapye. The ladies were needed to go and walk in the procession with Ivy after the dedication of her new house. Out of 6 only 2 were interested in going, under one condition that they are transported to and from Palapye!
Today we are in Mochudi. The sun is warm though it was a very chilly morning when we got up. Gordon did not want to get up although the plan was for Gordon to go school with Molly again for another adventure.
I planned to sleep in and to have a leisurely morning while they were gone to school, only to find out that I need to do a lot of things. I did the laundry for the kids to have clean clothes for school on Monday. Then I wrapped up all the presents to take with us to Palapye for Ivy’s party, and went shopping for the ingredients to do some baking (sorry Hon we will bake scones!) and also needed to get some supplies to make supper so that we can eat early and go to bed early.
We need to be in Palapye by 0800 am in the morning, and its 2½ hours away. Abel spent the morning cleaning and fixing the Venture (van) since there are many of us going now. I interrupted him to drive me to the supermarket and then sent him back to Spar as the girl tried to rip us off 15.00 pula. She weighed the ground beef and placed 2 stickers with 2 different prices 34.00 pula and 19.00 pula while the correct price was 19.00 pula as it was only a pound!
Initially Abel and kids were going to stay behind, because Molly was supposed to go to school on Saturday and Sunday and Abel and Laone were to stay and watch her. She normally asks for permission to miss Sunday lessons so that she can attend church but this time she will ask to skip both days. However, they do need to get caught up due to the recent school strike!
Now, the kids will soon arrive from school and I have to go make them something to eat. Oops they have arrived already and they want a little lunch of grilled cheese sandwiches. I have to pause and make it.
I am back. They are enjoying the grilled cheese sandwiches with cut up apples. I must say I have to go now and I will have to continue sometime later tonight or tomorrow.
