Potpourri - By John

Hello all, we've been doing a whole bunch of stuff since our last post, so this will be a bit of a catch-up excercise.

A New Home
In August we found out that the house we were living in was going to be sold, so we needed to find a new place to stay. We looked around at a bunch of different places, and ended up choosing a house that is on the other side of White River. It’s a nice place with a great view, and a nice back porch. We are thankful to have found this new home, and especially thankful to all our friends who helped us move. Here are some pictures

Uncle Dave's visit
Over the last week we have been very happy to have my Uncle David visiting us. The girls were on school break so we travelled around a bit and had a good time showing Uncle Dave the local sites. Here are some pictures

We went on the longest zip-line in Africa just down the road in Hazyview. It was a lot of fun!

Happy Thanksgiving
Yesterday we had a bunch of people over to celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving, complete with Pumpkin Pie. They don't celebrate thanksgiving here, and don't eat Pumpkin Pie, so it was a first for our friends. The pie was a bit hit, thankfully local pumpkin tastes fine if you add a lot of spices and sugar to it.

Eating out on the Patio - Try that in Canada at Thanksgiving!

Snake in the House!
Yesterday the girls were on the computer when they noticed that a snake had slithered into the house and behind the desk. Much screaming followed. Luckily, we were able to remove it without further drama. Here's a picture of our special friend.
