Two things this week. The first is our garden. It is actually growing! Our tomatoes plants have gotten much bigger, but we are still waiting for them to produce. Our cucumber and pepper seeds sprouted. I (Jamie) only killed one cucumber by accidentally stepping on it, but I think our garden will have more cucumbers than it can handle anyways. I even took some old green onions from our fridge and stuck them in the ground and they seem to be growing also. It is quite the experiment and it will be a race against the heat as spring comes when our garden should be producing. It is also interesting to watch which plants do the best without direct sunlight because we don't get any in our patio. The whole experience is fun for us!
Second, Tara has purchased that new designer abaya she was talking about a few weeks ago. The mom of a friend has the abayas made and sells them to help fund her orphanage in Malawi. It is quite nice and the color in it makes Tara feel slightly rebellious.
Third, I am starting an origami After School Activity. I know, I know, you may be thinking, "what does Jamie know about paper folding?" I'm sure the kids will be asking the same thing. I'm waiting to see how many kids sign up. It doesn't really matter what I know because it is just to give the kids something fun to do. I will probably learn more than them.
In other news, our Thailand trip is coming up in about a month. Tara bought the travel book she has been wanting and we are about to book our hotel in Koa Samui for the rest of our trip after the conference. We are also looking to book our tickets home for the summer, and as much as we like our lives here we are very much looking forward to coming home in four months.
Bye
Our thriving garden! Compare it with the first picture. It really has grown quite a bit.
Tara is modeling her new abaya. Can I say "modeling" and "abaya" in the same sentence?
