Hi

Here's a new address to use when sending any packages or letters.  It's quicker, but not to worry, all things already sent to the previous address will arrive, just takes a little longer.

All is well.  Busily trying to get this house livable.  Have met some interesting people and talented artisans.  Having new covers made for my filthy furniture so it doesn't creep me out so bad and they will be colorful to brighten this place up. He will show up today and do it on site.  Yay.  That just about blows my monthly allowance so have to wait a bit to do anything else, but is very worth it.  I cleaned all the windows and the "mama" did a good job cleaning the floors so it is shaping up.  The landlord has agreed to paint tho nobody has shown up yet so who knows when.......All in all, I am making this place my own, am learning to share with the spiders, and think I will be happy in my new home. It really does have great potential and the living room is quite large and includes the cooking area so very good for entertaining.....

Photo is taken from entrance.  You can see back door.  It leads into a back yard with a little building that is the latrine....a hole and a little area for bucket bath....but it's one of the nicer latrines I've seen. The floor in the house is cement and the cooking area is to the rear behind the chairs.....More pix later...thanks for all your support!!!
