I had no idea it had been so long since I last wrote. Oops.- Keanan's forehead is beautifully displayed in all its accidental glory--the lower "wound" is from contact with a hockey stick, the upper from a flying stone. No need to mention from whose hand the stone flew. These within 3 days of each other. He played hockey well and fortunately in the case of the stone, we had a visitor who is well versed in the ways of applying pressure to cuts, having had lots of personal experience. (Ev, you get to guess who it was.) Keanan hardly even cried.
So, due to electrical friends who love us, we now have lights throughout the camp in obscure places like the workshop and the camp dining room. They're flying home early tomorrow morning. We'll miss them. I wonder what tomorrow will hold. Three people who are here helping at camp are leaving tomorrow. The place will be quiet. As if in response, the clouds are crying today.
Bronwyn is making shortbreak cookies. Keanan is making stacks with the measuring cups. Cai has gone over to the gym to find some futbol action with the current group of young adults. We have a guest sitting in our hammock chair reading a book; she's had a busy week doing a medical mission into the "jungle." An 8-hour hike over a mountain. She was pretty tired when she got back!
The kids will enter school for the month of May on the 7th. They should get a good dose of people and Spanish. They'll be in the same school they attended while Simon and I were in language school so they'll each have either a teacher or a friend in their class that they know. I'll get to work on my Spanish with a tutor and some friends who are eager to help with practice.
This week's projects: - a new chicken coop for the neighbour's 8 hens that are currently living with our 10. We're up to 2 eggs a day, but not sure if they come from the 8 or the 10.
- varnishing decks
- woodcutting
- dreaming of making small group areas
- more organizing of the bodega to make it more usable
