13 March 2012 – Tina’s Fabulous Tenth

March 12, 2012 Greg Traverso Uncategorized

The summer social season kicked off here in Lukenya on a high note with a glamorous poolside soiree where everybody who was anybody was in attendance, dripping wet and eventually full of cake, popcorn, buscuits(cookies) and drinking yoghurt. The paparazzi were everywhere and so we have the following exclusive photos for you.

Gilbert and Mike.

Ronah and Jennifer in the taffy pull.

Part two.

Sammy in dry dock.

Freidah in the blue deep.

John, living on the edge.

Wisdom and Kaleb.

Sammy, second story.

Jennifer and Michael. V for victory.

Steve, and a kind of uncertainty.

Pure Faith.

Joshua, the king of the world.

Ronah and the rest of the Zambian gymnastic team.

Post swim, pre-cake.

Fiona's fine work.

Tina, ten.

Fiona bought five liters of whole milk, added some youghurt, and in a couple of days we had five liters of drinking yoghurt. Vanilla.

It was a little windy poolside, so the candle lighting,

singing and blowing sought some shelter.

Then the noshing began in eanest.

With no time for crying over spilt yoghurt.

The hostel owner's "Jesus is alive" Thank You card.

And its companion piece about the cow.

You are all invited for Tina’s eleventh. We’re thinking of Monaco.

See you in Canne. Big air kisses,

David

Monaco… isn’t that where Martin Carlo is? Wouldn’t miss it. Just don’t make me eat the cake.

The kids look fantastic — so happy! It’s wonderful to see.

p.s. A pool huh? Pretty fancy. You made me swim in the dam.

What a thrill to see all of those happy faces! Kudos to Fiona for arranging such a treat as well as sharing her cake-baking talent. Tina will never forget her 10th.

Dear Martin,

The cakes, now baked by yours truly…or, more accurately, the bread machine Joy brought and left, are moist and deeelicious. The kids are growing and unimaginably good, and lots of other things. You would recognize and not recognize them. And they are living stabily on the hardcore foundations that you pounded into rubble.

If the Martin Carlo thing doesn’t work out, we may change the 11th venue to NYC. We’ll pile into your digs and do the funky chicken.

Saw our giraffes up close yesterday. They said hi.

Lots of love from this side,

David

Bob,

I should have thought of that before I jumped on the camel caravan. Posting the blind luck winners today…then it’s EZ$ and EZLiving from then on.

Hi Peggy,

Fiona is a gem. A gift for all of us. And Tina’s Tenth made a splash that she won’t soon forget.

See you soon,

David

Too, too cute. What a gift all the way round. What a home â€” and what opportunities â€” are being ongoingly created…

Gratefully,
Chrios
