Mombo got a call from Jerome from the Houston airport at around 10 a.m. Everything is going fine. They were ready to board the plane for Guatemala City.

I want to write about Jerome and Janet’s journey to Guatemala this week so that anyone who wants to keep up with what I know can check here. Yesterday was Abe’s Birthday, and I didn’t have school because of black ice. I thought I could be of help to J&J who had the day off […]

Lent is early this year. I’m going to take a lead from Ian, who started this, I think, when he was in hight school, and not eat meat at all during Lent. I’ll try to do other things as well, since I don’t eat that much meat any way, but it will make it easier […]

So today I went to an antique sale in Burlington, Kentucky with my new friend Jerry and when I got back to Sharon and Mike’s where I am helping KK house-sit, there was a tree down in their yard! It looked like it was rotten, but still. . . The same thing happened to Jerome […]

Not too much to say here. Charles and Judy took us to the Gatwick where we were met by Brendan. Caitlan left with him to spend Easter together. A bit of a tearful good-by. We had extra time after we got through security to do a little shopping. Jerome bought some special Scotch and then […]

Good Friday. Thank you, Lord, or the gift of your Son. Today Judy and Charles came at 10 a.m., and we headed out to Leeds Castle after a breakfast of tea and fish sandwiches. Leeds Castle was crowded because it was a holiday, so we had to queue up to get in. Once you have […]

Today was hiking day. We ate brunch at Jerome’s and Janet’s (our baguettes) and hiked around the golf course to the Wheatsheaf pub in bough Beech. It was a beautiful day–bright and sunny. We stopped for J2O for KK, ale and beer for Jerome and me, and wine for Janet. Then more hiking to Chiddingstone […]

This was our whirlwind tour of Oxford day. We spent a lot of time on trains. We would have left earlier but couldn’t get a taxi from Hever Hotel until later. Then we went from Edenbridge to Redhill to Reading to Oxford with some fast runs and a few missed trains in between. Luckily there’s […]
