Not up to much

I haven't been doing much lately so that's why I haven't posted much. This weekend Jacob has a boy scout BBQ and they will be racing their rockets so I will have pictures from that. Today Katie and I went to a sale with AWAA(American Woman's Association of Angola) and I got presents for my nieces for their birthday's. The boys have both had a cold this week and I am on my last bottle of cold medicine for them so hopefully they get over it soon. I started taking Portuguese lessons again this week with Katie. She has been wanting to take them. I really don't but it is much better with a friend. Tuesday while at Katy's taking lessons some guys came to her house and said they needed to run some test on her appliances in her kitchen. They tested every appliance in her kitchen even ones that belonged to her and not her company. About an hour later they came and said everything is working. Really....no really....if we actually turn something in that is broken we are lucky if they come out in a week or maybe two to fix it. However, they came to her house and tested everything that she already knew worked to let her know they were fine. She still has a dryer that doesn't work and an AC in her sons room that has been out for a month but all the kitchen appliances are working fine. I couldn't believe it....what a waste of money to have these guys out. Why couldn't they have came and fixed the stuff that was wrong. This place is really getting to me. :-) All Katie could say is, "TIA"(This is Angola). Gotta love it!!!

We have had rain and storms almost every day for the last week or so. It's nice to be able to enjoy them and not worry about tornados. We are so ready to go back to the states, only 7 more weeks. I have already started my list and shopping online for what I need to bring back with me.  :-)

I downloaded pictures from my phone, I thought I would show you what I have taken pictures of in the last week.

Kenny's Dorado that he caught last weekend. We have had fish tacos twice since then. This is my new favorite food. :)

A bird in Jacob's flower bed at school....while I was waiting on the boys to get out of school on Monday.

Went to Kero yesterday and found a cooked pig for dinner. Not sure how much it cost and no I didn't buy it.

This morning on my walk with Katie and her dog, Fletcher, we met up with another friend, Mimi, and her dog, Macy.

At the sale today...I found this mask painting that I just love. No I didn't buy it....yet!!

I also really like these little paintings....didn't buy them.

Some bracelets and necklaces I bought the girls.

I got Jacob and Jared these billfolds made from snake skin for their birthdays.

I got Josh this mask that is a bowl.

I got myself this tray that is in the shape of Africa.
