Status as of August 25th.

Greetings to all! I think that we can assuredly say that we are in our permanent house and are trying to make it as comfortable as possible. That said, we must accomplish that task with the limited funds that we have beyond our eating budget for such things as a comfortable chair or two for reading and just for relaxing. We have a spot picked out for it, should it become a reality.
The house we have been given belongs to the Kamuzu University where Kaye teaches, and we periodically must tolerate some students, and some noise, in adjacent areas and rooms. All in all, not too bad.
On a potentially positive note, we have discovered a sports center nearby, with a pool, track, workout room with real weights, and other things that we might use. The cost is steep for our allowance, so we are considering spending our US dollars. It will allow us to maintain some sanity in our lives and to get back into the shape we were in before we left home.
Kaye is in the mddle of her "observation" period at the hospital, and Noel is settled into his role as the Resource Office manager at his NGO.
We will post more info, and some current photos, soon and as time allows.
Stay healthy, and in touch!

Kaye & Noel,
Great to hear about your housing. Back in college again!
Loved your photos....especially the landscapes and the experimental one!
We played Bunco last night and would have called Kaye if we had a way to do so to help divide the money.
Keep in touch!

Thanks for the comment, Paul. I, too, relied heavily on Kaye's ability to divide the loot. Feel free to call anytime, but remember that we are 6 hours ahead of you. Safe journeys to Hawaii and Florida, and enjoy!

It's great to read your posts and see your photos. You two are amazing. The first hints of Fall are appearing here in North Carolina.

Jody, thanks for the comments and the thoughts. I will miss the fall colors. We are just entering summer here, which is typically hot and rainy, and the beginning of the peak malaria season. We can only hope for the best. Stay in touch, and stay healthy.

Nice to hear from you Naresh. How are things at Alstom? Stable? Hope you and the family are doing well and staying in shape with the tennis.
