Yeh!!!!! Grandpa Les is feeling much better but we are still hanging out here at home. We are waiting to watch the Academy Awards when we are all available to watch it. It is on iTunes I guess. I hope they can get it - I voted and sent my ballot into Four Seasons at Rush Creek where we live because Patty Kenaley and her helpers were busy preparing for a mock Oscar night while watching it. Way to go ladies!!!!
It has started to become cool here and rainy - can you believe this for Africa? I have gotten to know Tembe, the house maid, much better and I just love her. I wish I could take her home with me. She takes care of our laundry and hangs them up to dry in the beautiful African sun and winds and they come back to us so fresh. She washes everything by hand so quickly in the kitchen and every time I go back to my room everything is organized and sparkling. She works so hard and lives here all week and goes home on the weekends to be with her little daughter , Pamela who is 6 years old, who lives with her aunt. I have given her a few things such as a monkey and pencils for her little girl to play with and Saili gives her clothes that she cannot fit into anymore. They are good to her and yet according to our standards in US she is working for so little but the Rand here is so devalued - $10 is 100Rand - so to her it is very good pay.
