jude eats mini birds on a stick.. video for the day

Not much to report.. We have Kate's Shakespeare program this evening and will celebrate by heading out to Noble China for dinner...  One of the great things about going out to eat here at some of the restaurants is that there is room for the kids to play.. The video below is of the twins playing at the Indian Restaurant down the street from our home..  Thought I'd give you a taste of what the kids do while we try and eat.. It's actually kind of nice.. The one thing you don't see in the video is Maura falling asleep at the dinner table.  Oh, and the Keyboardist at the restaurant playing Phil Collins, Billy Ocean and a beautiful Reggae version of Lionel Ritchie's "Hello"..  They love Billy Ocean here..

As our time here comes to an end , I hope to start a series of snapshots of people who have made a difference in our lives here.. Hopefully I can get some of them to agree to a photo.. Below is the first installment.. It is of our vegetable bagger at our local grocery store.. Not sure of her name, but she always greets us with a smile and a hello.. I was fortunate to get this photo of her sporting some patriotism on Memorial Day.. Actually, I'd like to get a photo of all the women at the grocery store.. They think we are nuts because we spend so much money there every week, but they only talk bad about us in Chichewa, so it's ok.. The other photo is of Jude and his after school snack.. mini birds on a stick.. we were trying to get mice on a stick, but they were "finished". 

Ok, all for now..
