A Prelude to Uganda

I know that everyone is sick of hearing about how close we are to moving to Uganda, but there hasn't been a new post on the blog for a while. So, here comes another.
We'll almost definitely be leaving for Kampala in two weeks. However, jdc decided to take advantage of rural PA and give the family "a prelude to Uganda". As you can see from the pictures, there's beautiful scenery on the hike we took, and this is how we hope Uganda will be.


Would you like it there if it looked like that...?

Then COME VISIT!

The Elevator!

A farm family from the Bosveld was visiting Johannesburg and they were in a shopping center for the first time in their lives.
The father Stoffel and his son Frikkie were strolling around while the wife shopped.
They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and then slide back together again.
Frikkie asked,
-* "Pa, What’s that?"
Stoffel (never having seen an elevator) responded,
"Frikkie my son, I do not know. I have never seen anything like that in my entire life; I got no idea what it is."
While Stoffel and Frikkie were watching with amazement, a fat old lady walked up to the moving walls and pressed a button.
The walls opened and the lady walked between them into a small room.
The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially.
They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order.
Then the walls opened up again and a young gorgeous, voluptuous woman stepped out.
Stoffel, not taking his eyes off the young woman, said quietly to his son,
"Frikkie my son, run and fetch Ma...."
