July 12

We've had the last two days "off" as far as the workshops go, but we have kept very busy.

This is a picture of Linda's shopping trip on Friday to Orange walk with Jean Giles and Elsa Itzab and Nehru's wife. Here, we were checking out at People's grocery store. Orange Walk is about 30 miles south of Corozal Town, and has better shopping.

There is a Goodwill type store in Orange Walk that all the ladies love to go to - the name of the store is Boundries. It was so hot in there! The store is a big two story warehouse with racks and racks of used shoes, and shelves of used dishes and nic-nacs and tables of used clothes. The ladies will spend hours in this store searching for items they can use.

While Linda went to Orange Walk, Dale did errands around town - like go get water (5 gal jugs). He also walked over to the bay and was enjoying the breeze and looking at the water when he spotted 3 or 4 manatee playing in the water in front of him. It is unusual for them to be in Corozal Bay, so he was pretty excited to report about it. Unfortunately, he didn't have the camera with him.

This morning (Saturday) we were invited to the Zantingh's for breakfast. Romalda made us waffles! They were delicious. After breakfast we went to town to find some foam to make Romalda a cushion for her chair, and the rest of the day we have been working on projects with Albert and Romalda, Jeremy and Brittany. The end result was a basketball backstop and cushions for Romalda's chair. The last picture is Brittany showing off her kittens.

What a blessing is our friendship with Albert and Romalda!
