Glimpses of our Life in Ghana

    I have been trying to come up with a wonderful post about how our lives are going. And it hasn't been working. I keep coming up with paragraphs and bits and pieces. So I guess bits and pieces it will be!   How is Covid19 affecting us?  Less and less. Masks are still mandatory but fewer ad fewer people wear them. When entering a store or building they are usually checking temperatures and have a hand washing station and/or sanitizer at the door. But most people on the street walk around like normal. Very occasionally we here "Coronavirus!" shouted at us when in town but not as often as before. A large portion of the people in Ghana till have very vague ideas about the virus. At first they thought if you get it you die. Now a lot of them think it is only a sickness for the rich people. It really hasn't swept through towns and villages like they thought it might. Schools still don't have an opening date. They closed in March and rumor has it they will be closed t

  Here are a few pictures from our month, starting with the most recent ones. The little house out at Assomdwee. It was almost finished. The main house was just getting its finishing touches. These houses are just waiting for their families to come and live in them as soon as the borders open. We are anxiously waiting as well!! Lonnie and Evie Weaver went with us. We had a picnic lunch on the front porch. It was a very enjoyable day! Our garden finally produced beans! And what beans they are!! The lettuce is getting eaten as it grows. But we aren't sure what is eating it. One Saturday the men and boys went fishing. They managed to snag this one. It seems the fish in Ghana aren't very hungry. Brent so rarely poses for me these days. So I was happy to get a good picture of him. They fished off the rocks where the river meets the ocean. Patricia and Della came to visit us one Saturday. He is such a little cutie! Everyone was very happy to have him. We canned pickles!  Kelsey cooke
