This has been my workplace much of last week and will be through this week and the next. Many thanks for giving me a quiet spot and an internet connection.
Dashing
Thanks for the bow tie Aunt Shel! We had a splendid time at Auntie M and Uncle Paul’s wedding.
Evangelical Lutheran Church – Strand Street
Today we happened upon the oldest original church complex in the Southern Hemisphere. We arrived ten minutes before the doors closed for the day. A beautiful sanctuary in downtown Cape Town. Would have been nice to worship with the congregation and hear of how they are engaged with the city. Another time, I suppose.
First Rubgy Game
A great first rugby experience! Many thanks to @THESTORMERS and @MelbourneRebels
Good Conversation
We happened upon Anthony yesterday. Decided to meet today and had a nice conversation regarding the current atmosphere around some of the church and faith in Cape Town.
South African Mountains
On our way back into Cape Town. The mountains are beautiful!
Kroonstad
Thankful to be staying with a generous family in Kroonstad.
Stranded Outside Johannesburg
Our vehicle has opted to shut down some 120 kilometers before Johannesburg. It seems to be an issue for which Dieter had previously had it serviced. Unfortunately, the fix didn’t stick. Seeking accommodations and assistance. Unsure what next steps may be.
Sleepy Ones
These two were quite adorable last night. Tuckered out.
World Book Day
Captured this fine photo in the Prayer League archives. I can’t think on the most recent book I completed. I think it was How Not To Be Wrong by Jordan Ellenberg. Of course, I’ve also been occupied with a great number of children’s books! What good books have you read lately that I might track […]
A Girl, A Turtle, A Hat
She wore this to The Wedge, our local co-op, and led the way around as if she owned the place. She is adorable.
An Outside Kind of Day
It was quite nice out today, so we spent a good deal of it outside near the Mission Home. This is our side yard. Not quiet or expansive, but nice for some afternoon play, nonetheless.
Bedtime
It has been more and more difficult to get the kids to bed in recent days. I think it is primarily due to the sun also staying up so late.
