The Weekend As We Knew It



Hello all...
The weekend was fun and very busy. On Friday we got to got to the African Children's Choir with a couple of CATCH! volunteers and some Kenyan friends. It was fun to sit with Sally, one of our friends from Kenya and get a play by play on language and information being given to us.
On Saturday we went to a Bosnian/American wedding where Robert played the "marryin' man." We enjoyed going to Katherine Albertson's Park for the ceremony and then a big party at the Basque center. It was so much fun.
Then about 11 o'clock pm we went to the Jewish Synagogue for a Bantu Muslim wedding. It is a nice place for a wedding-this being our second there. It was very hot as there were about 300 people there. One of my favorite girls got married to one of Robert's favorite translators so that was fun. Last week when I caught him in the neighborhood I went through my normal "hand on his shoulder- light squeeze- slight threat in my voice." So she has another year of school and then college....is she going to both? If she doesn't you will have to work three times as hard to get your family to eat. It would be best if she went to university. He smiled, having already anticipated my question and gave all the right answers. We will see if they actually come true but at least he KNOWS the right answers.
