Happy Late Valentine’s Day!
On Friday the 13th (OOooooo), my parents went to
the couples braai (cookout) hosted by Chiredzi Christian Church and held at the
Davy’s house. While they did that, I hung out with some other kids at the
Burbidge’s house which is right next to the Davy’s. I enjoyed the company of
nine kids and two babies.
We
turned on a movie, which was the first movie or TV that I had watched since our
first week here! During about half of the movie I held an adorable baby who
slept for a good while of that time and the rest of the time was mainly playing
with the younger kids or eating. The babysitter, Lisa, told me a story about
when one of her dogs was attacked by a boa constrictor! I didn’t get to finish
hearing about what happened to the dog before we had to leave.
On
February 14, Valentine’s Day, I cleaned our house. “Three’s a Company”. I was
helped by Loveness and Patricia to complete the following: sweep, mop and wax
the whole house plus the veranda (aka back porch). Then that evening our family hosted their
house for sloppy joes, potato chips, fruit salad, veggies, and Mazoe (syrup
that gets mixed with water to create a yummy juice). All the kids scarfed down
the chips and put salt on their cucumbers! After dinner we played an assortment
of “hand games” some in Shona and others in English.
