My first day at Kibidula was enjoyable. After opening our suitcases and giving our presents  and gifts to Twalisa and Emily, Uncle Jason and Antionette ( forgive me but have you ever tried to say Aunty Antionette?) I started to get to know my little cousins. We took a walk and looked the buildings that Uncle Jason has designed and is working on. Twalisa really started to warm up to me - or me to her. We had a lot of fun playing in the sewer (brand new and never used) ditches, drawing with sawdust and catching grasshoppers. Twalise often says, "look" and gibbers her story out. She can really talk! Emily can talk, too, except it is nonsense. And Twalisa is a copy-cat doing everything I do, including "writing" beside me. We had homemade pizza for lunch and I will say now Antionette is a good cook.

I got very sick the next day! I was sick all night, but in the morning Antionette made me some pretty good orange juice. I slept most of the day.

Sabbath was lovely. We had a special breakfast with candles. I like coconut!!  At church the choirs were incredible. On the last song they used their feet for rhythm. ..

I made friends with a couple of girls my age. April from the USA and Ariane from Switzerland. We spent time checking out their horses and calves and kittens.
