Sabobo oversaw the proceedings from his perch,
I'd eat this stuff with the right topping.
And got a load of beautiful river sand.

Mildred had a pre-natal visit at a clinic in Athi River today, so David stayed with dad and had his first day at work. It started in the sand pile.
He gave dad a hand,

We’re tucked in now, but will reconvene, same place, tomorrow.
The recommended pairing with the river sand is a sampling of single malt scotchs — in a row right next to Sabobo. I imagine he’d look after them just fine.
What a pictorial record there will be of Little David’s growth right along with the Red Rhino Children’s Home! Hopefully he will look back at this with us.

David is growing, walking, sprouting teeth. He’s more discerning in his choice of company, and has been crying as soon as I get within his radar. I’m sure we’ll renew our former pal-hood as soon as I become a better person.
The patio may well be to die for. levelizing these stones is killing us!
I see a book here. It is written with simple sentences and fantastic photos that tell the story virtually by themselves. Send it to a publisher! David is a star!
Thank you for sharing these. : )

Mr S loved the suggestion of him guarding the single malts, as long as no one was monitoring the levels.
Loved the last blog on Red Egg. Thanks for the heads up. Has Bubba been on the juice?
Keep your bag handy,
David

October 22, 2009 at 9:52 pmHi Janine,
I think the Davids’ aspirations are reversed. Maybe we’ll meet in the middle.
The place has changed since you and Migdalia were here, but you set the tone with all your hard work.
Love to you both,
David

Yes, David’s growth record will parallel our own. He’s our first homegrown human, and we couldn’t have done better.
Hi to Doug, love to you both,
David
