The Python

  Sunday evening we got a message that Earl Shirk had caught a python. They caught it alive and kept it till everyone that wanted to came to see it.

After everyone had a chance to look at it they left it go so we could see what it would do. Then they killed and butchered it.

This evening they steamed and fried it. Everyone got a little taste. It was very chewy but didn't really have much flavor.

Just a few other snapshots;

This mud hole below is still causing issues. This vehicle had gotten stuck and then when we pulled it out it wouldn't run. Kenny worked at it but the man's mechanic was on his way, so we eventually just left. He found out later it was a blown fuse, which he had been suspicious of.

This puddle still brings my heart rate up a bit. And when I came to it and saw this truck, my heart sank. But it was a half hour drive to turn around! And I was less then 5 minutes from my destination.

So we squeezed by!

We are gearing up for graduation. Patricia and I sat down and made a shopping list today. She will be in charge of the food. We will make as much as possible the day before. And then most of it can be done early the next morning. She is an expert at doing events like this. Cooking a meal for 80 Ghanaian looks very daunting to me. I am so thankful for her! Kenny and I are trying our hand at things like writing testimonials for each student, finding caps and gowns (they just want them for pictures, but they really want them!), planning the order of ceremony and the list goes on. It is a challenge since there has never been a real graduation at the school before, and we have never been to a graduation. We also know it sets the stage for what will be expected in years to come. The students are very excited and proud to be graduating. They aren't looking forward to leaving though. It feels a little like we need to push them out of the nest!
