A Layne Post
I decided this week to give you guys a little look at some of our favorite ‘spots’ near the house.
- At the end of our street
At the end of our street there is this little striped trailer. I love it. Without it, we would have missed our street a hundred times. I told Jon, “They can never move it!” In the mornings, when we can, we like to walk along the beach, admire God’s creation, observe some of the Mozambican life, hold hands, and talk about life and the future. There is a grocery store with a great bakery down the beach where they make fabulous cheap bread. We grab some fresh bread and walk along the beach back to the house.
- Waiting for a hot dog
At ‘Game’, a store a few minutes from our house that is like a Wal-mart, they have a hot dog stand outside. We were here a couple months, and every time we went there we would see and smell the hot dogs cooking and Jon would say, “Someday I want to try one of those!” One day we did, and they are good! Now it is a nice cheap little treat.
- Jon and Hot-dog man
Go ahead… you can laugh. I felt like a tourist taking this pic, but we love Hot-dog man!
- Take Out Pizza
This is a restaurant a couple minutes down the road, which has changed names a couple of times, but the food has remained the same. I noticed a sign across the street that advertised ‘take away pizza’. Turns out they have decent little pizzas! I especially like the Hawaiian. These days I can eat a whole one by myself! Ha!
- Date Night
And I thought I’d leave you with a recent picture of us.
We went on a date a week or so ago to a little restaurant called ‘Spicy Thai’. Yum! It was probably the fanciest we’ve dressed up since we’ve been in Africa, which was fun! We were definitely the nicest dressed at the restaurant, but I didn’t mind. It was a special night just for us.
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed a little light-hearted look into our lives and our town.
We love you!
After about two months I am finally back on line – computer was trashed because of a virus. Uncle David and a neighbor finally fixed it – yeh. Had alot of reading to do – all your blogs – and love the pictures you have just sent out. Who lives in the little trailer? Don’t you love being so near the beach. And a BIG congratulations on the pregnancy – another great grandone for GG – that’s me – short for greatgrandmother. Am so glad I’ve lived this long to see it all happening – even though I feel so far away from all of it now we are in Florida. Yeh for computers!! You both look just wonderful!!!
The things that I think are American staples (hot dogs, pizza) are strange to read about being in Africa!
Just typed you a comment and forgot to hit submit – so here goes again. Loved the pictures – you both look wonderful!! My computer has been non-operating for about a month and a half but finally a neighbor was able to finish what David had started and I am on line again. Have been reading all you blogs over at Uncle David’s but not wanted to answer them until I had my own computer working. a BIG congratulations on the pregnancy and looking forward to my #4 greatgrandbaby. I thank the Lord I have lived this long to be GG – that’s short for greatgrandmother – even though we are all so far apart now that we are in Florida. But thank you Lord for computers and all the news and pictures you send us. God Bless!!
thanks for sharing Layne! :) Loved reading. :)
What fun to see some of your favorite places. It makes me feel like I am almost right there with you. Hmmmm … should I have a hot dog for lunch now? or pizza?
Very nice picture of Jon with the hotdog man; it just seems so very like you guys — ha!
And I love the dress-up pic. Good job going out on that special date.
Someday I will come over there and enjoy that beautiful beach with you. Love you both!
I too love seeing what ya’ll see :) That little trailer could so be mine! I love it;) Jon looked especially cute w/the hot dog! Enjoyed your writing Layne. Love to you both.
