Just for those curious about the little things:
1. It’s been raining all day. I walked to the bank in a soft mist and then by the time I left, all the way to the border, and all the way to our property in large drops that smacked my face, soaked my hair and got all my bags wet. Praise God that my laptop is safe (looking for the positives, people).
Mom and Dad – don’t read the next one.
2. There are riots in the streets because people want electricity to come to our village, and because a guy got accidentily shot by a police officer last night. Tires on fire, rocks thrown. I’m spending the night on this side tonight so that we don’t have to cross the border this afternoon.
3. Our little 16 lb. 4 year old is recovering slowly but he shall surely live and not die.
4. There was a gecko in my bathroom last night (looked just like the bad guy on Monster’s Inc.) and I had to catch it with a plastic container. I accidently cut it’s tail off with the rim and then I screamed and lost him and then chased him around the house (who can sleep knowing that there is a gecko in their house) but the tail kept moving on the ground. I finally got him and threw him outside.
Happy Monday everyone – pray for our safety today and for the safety of our school children who walk home after school is over!!
The Roaring 20s 
First, I hope you are safe!
Second, Growing up in Florida there were lizards all over a screened porch that we had. (Not many things grossed me out more than the moving tail of a lizard after it was detached from the body.) My brothers use to throw these at me just to watch me freak out. So… I understand.
Thank you!! I felt like such a “girl”, but these aren’t even like the green ones… they’re slimy and almost clear… so gross!
