Moths Everywhere!

-

 Someone left a window open over night and the lights were on and we had hundreds of moths in the office in the morning!  They were everywhere in the basement; the kitchen, entry, board room, front office.  A few made their wat upstairs but most of them were downstairs.

Mikembo

 We had a long, holiday weekend so we went to Mikembo with Moren & Sisca, Darius & Leonie, Leslie, Trent, Scotty & Kayla and kids! It was my first time being there and I loved it!  I was a little nervous when I heard we would be camping in tents, but it wasn't that bad. The tents were "nice" and we just sprayed for insects 2-3 times a day. There was a pavilion where we cooked, visited, and ate. There was a pavilion closer to the river that had couches and a table. People napped there, we played games there and just relaxed!  It was very green, because of the rainy season. It was a very beautiful place!  Simi playing around in the eating pavilion.  Caught Cory taking a nap! You can see the tents in the background. Scotty and Trent went and found some wild mushrooms and cooked them up! I was excited to taste them, I love mushrooms!  These particular ones were not my favorite...they had a flavor I didn't like.    It was very hot and humid...

It is so expensive here...

 If we were to eat like the locals, it would be very cheap to eat.  One bag of maize, which they make foo foo out of, costs $35 and it could last for ever.  We don't eat like them, though, so it is very expensive. Almost all of our food is imported from South Africa.  Here is an example. Here is my grocery haul... I bought: 30 eggs, 1 loaf of stale bread, a package of buns, 4 packs of grillers (hot dogs), a small cube of ham, block of cheese, jar of mayo, 2 cubes of butter, 3 sauces (cream of soups), 2 cream cheeses, laundry detergent, 6 Coke Zero's 2 onions, 6 mediocre potatoes, and a pack of Qtips. It cost me $145!!!! My sister, Katie, plugged it into Walmart in Utah and it would have cost $77.64 and that was for a full bag of potatoes, bottles of Coke Zero and larger detergent.  My sister, Hillary, plugged it into Walmart in Alaska and it was $91! Sisca did the same for back in South Africa and it was $73! PLUS...I didn't everything on my list! I still need t...

Week 1 at Home ~ July 1 - 7

  Monday, July 1 I was able to be in town for this Westland Breakfast!  It was so fun to get together with all the women of Westland and laugh, visit and eat good food! One of my favorite things about Monday's in the summer is Springville City's Farmers Market!  We love to go walk around and look at all the fun booths then get some yummy food from the food trucks and share!  This time we got alfredo pasta, calzone, corn dogs, California roll sushi, BBQ brisket with garlic mashed potatoes.  Our favorite was the corn dogs and least favorite was the calzone.  I tried the sushi and it wasn't that bad...but there was no raw fish so apparently it's not real sushi! Tuesday, July 2 We got up at 5:30 so we could go fishing up at Strawberry.  Kim and Janet met us up there.  I dressed for warm weather and it was so cold that morning.  I was bundled up in blankets and sweatshirts.  It warmed up as the morning went on.  It was so nice to be out ...
