Happy 4th of July!
Hey all! So I have just finally figured out how to view everyones comments! For the longest time I thought you all were not repsonding to my blog, so thanks to all that have taken the time to post comments- I am still trying to figure out how to respond to individual comments. Baby steps- I will get there. Things here are going great. Yesterday we had a big celebration for Independence day. We had a ton of american food-burgars, sausage, potato salad, coleslaw, and apple crisp! It was all so tasty! I hope all you had a great celebration as well. The taxi strike is over and things are back to normal here and around Maseru, so all is good and well. I have been baking my own bread and cooking lots of tasty food. I have never made my own bread before Lesotho. Its amazing that I get up at about 6 oclock to boil water and begin making bread (by candlelight). Sometimes I feel like I am living in the 19th centuary. This Sunday my village is having a concert where myself and six other trainies will get up and sing in front of the whole village. All the proceeds of the concert will go to Bokone Village. Well my time is running out so I will catch you all on the flip side. Keep posting comments- I love to read them. Auntie Pat- it took me a minuate but I figured it out-glad you and John are able to access my blog now. BE WELL.

Hey Julie!
How great that you guys got a celebration for the 4th. I'll bet that food was a real treat although homemade bread everyday sounds pretty good too! You are becoming quite the domestic over there aren't you??
Good luck with your performance today. Take care.
HIYA Jules! I really wish I could witness you performing for a whole village, that would really make my day!. Anyhoooo I love you and miss you and am glad to hear (read?) that you are doing so well! I miss your face and hearing you sing whitesnake and Stevie Wonder to me in the morning.
Keep on keeping on!

Hey Jules,
Mom & I have just returned from our first week of a two week vacation. We rented a cottage at Parker Head, just above Popham Beach. We thought of you often and missed you wicked much. You would have loved this place. Lots of room, light and views of a mill pond that opened out to the Kennebec River (right in front of us). We love reading your news and wish we could have seen you perform for the village. What did you sing? Mom wants to know when you're going to call us!!! Have you received any of our snail mail? During our days at Popham Beach, I actually put my kayak in through the surf and surfed the breakers. You would love doing that. Mom took us out for Indian food in Brunswick, but I'm sure yours was more of the real thing.
Love me & Mom.
Julie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just figured out how to find your blog ( I was spelling the address wrong and Google didn't help me out that much-figures with my spelling skills)! YAY! So I will be in much much better touch.It sounds like things are going really really great and I wish I could have joined you during your dance party under candle light! I'm going to send you an e-mail so check it when you get a change! I miss you much and love you!! take care and be well. haha xoxo
Did you sing some Tom Petty? Well I'm Free Free Fallin. Fresh bread sounds nice. It is hot here right now. Allie misses you. She is panting by the door. Sounds like things are going well. I'll be looking forward to your next post.
