Family Life
Catching up with the news
December is a very hot month. My thermometer registered
a high of 116 during
one period. When I come home from school I often have grand
plans (such
as writing to my family and friends!), but my energy level inspires
me to lie very
still on my bed and let the perspiration flow
freely from all pores.
The women lying on foam pads on the stoop is a very common sight in
the
afternoon and into the evening. The photo here was taken New Year's eve.
A
brother from Pretoria came with his wife and children and a carload of
fireworks - the
sights and sounds
of which were enjoyed by the community near and far.
