Yesterday I had a nice visit with Ashlee. 26 min. for $5.00 and that is money well spent. They were resting in the gazebo, that has a hatch roof, and they said it was very cool. They were resting from a long hard day in their new home. They have a small brick house with a cement floor. They were able to get a new bed mattress and have gotten the netting up around it to help with the bugs. She said her kitchen right now is buckets with tight lids. They had a welcoming party of 5 boys that came to check them out. They offered to help so she put them to work scrubbing the floor etc. One of the Boys decided he would rather help Andy catch mice.
A dog they have named Tosh came with the house. He is friendly and helps with the other rodents that are around. A cat may be in the future since I guess they are better at doing this job than dogs. But Andy loves the dog.
They were tired cause it is a 10 min. walk to get water and they had used a lot that day. They could hire someone to get water for them but think they will do it them selves to try and fit in. Ashlee says Andy needs to find smaller buckets cause she lost over half on the way home, but got a nice foot washing out of the deal.
They should have phone coverage where they are now when their phone is charged. Till the solar charger gets there, they will have to go to the closest town and they have permission at the Forestry office to charge their phone. It is about 15 K, so distance on their bikes.
Their yard has 6 mango trees and banana trees. There were ripe bananas last week when they were there but gone now, so some one else must have needed them. The garden has gone up into weeds so they will have a good job getting that ready, Ashlee took a lot of seeds with her in hopes to plant many things. Her project right now is to use the plastic bags they have by cutting them up and knitting them into what I think she said was a rug.
She mentioned that she has heard from some of you by E mail and says thanks. They are getting them even though it says they are out of the country. They only have 10 min each on the computer before they have to pay so keep sending them your e mails even thought they can't respond.
