The Next Step
Once again our house is in shambles. There is furniture on the front lawn (what I call the front and what Jonathan calls the back – but that’s a completely different story)…and baskets…and dishes…and everything else we bought from our neighbors. Which means the furniture we’ve been borrowing has to come out so the new stuff can come in.
But this is the last step and then we can finally make this place home. I’ve been so excited to hang things on walls. Of course I don’t have much to hang at this point but hope to eventually… and I want things from home instead of Africa. My house just won’t be decorated with that safari theme. I live in Africa but I’m from America. I want my home to be somewhat of a sanctuary where I can be comfortable and remember the things I miss. If I want something to remind of Africa I could simply walk outside. But, again, I digress.
I should probably take pictures of this, our final settling in. If nothing else, once we get this accomlished I can continue my home tour for you. It’s not much but it’s ours – well, temporarily anyway – and we’re happy here.

I’m really glad that the house and furniture is going so well. Julia and Viggo will be looking for a place in a few weeks. Please pray that they will find just the right set up. They would like to live in or near an Mbugwe village rather than in one of the larger towns like Babati. So I imagine the availble stock of houses is small.
