MOVING...and Other things

Back again and very tired. Today the moving truck came as scheduled 9-ish (this is Africa nothing being on time is 'on time'). We spent the day loading the truck packing boxes, cleaning the house etc.
Poor Steve (Stephie's boyfriend) was in-charge of the "moving men" and it was a lot of work to make sure they were moving the right furniture to the right place that nothing broke, and all was done in decency and order.
Tim came here to our house late night to help with the move. Yay, I'm so happy!!! Hee hee anyways he helped with packing up the kitchen, which we had to leave till last minute with so many people wanting to eat! He worked so hard all day long, my poor baby. He went up to the new house to help set up the kitchen and cook dinner (did I mention he cooked lunch with the kitchen in a horrid mess?). He hasn't come back yet so I'm trying to cram some Internet time while he's gone. Since it's utterly useless to try and work at projects with him around...
Stephie went up to the new house to help Gabe and Nora with the kids. Very exciting time with boxes everywhere. Kiara has been a very good girl. So sweet and helpful. As a reward later this afternoon we watched "Wallace and Gromit" the one where they go to the moon. She loved it.
Phil and Ben from the Lynwood Home came to help. They were awesomely helpful with everything. Phil even helped me pack boxes! He folded my clothes and helped me sort through things. Since I was doing so much of the house packing I hardly had time to do my own. Anyways, every time people peeked in my room they started laughing that the reason we had big guys was to fold clothes. It was loads of fun and we talked and caught up on lost time.

We haven't seen very many people in a while because of the silly "German measles" which no body caught, btw. Just thought to add in my own little grudge there.
My poor baby love (Tim), he was quarantined from his own home! Stuck in a room and brought meals because he was the only one who had been directly in touch with the German measles home. And I hadn't seen him in ages it was fun fun fun to see him again. Hee hee.
His mom and dad came to drop him off last night and all of us young people were heading off to a dinner out. Rachel (Tim's Mom) while saying bye to me said: "Keep a good eye on him and make sure he doesn't get into trouble". I said: "Oh, I will I rule him with an iron hand!!" Steve and Tim seemed to find that hilarious and burst into laughter.--Hurt my feelings, if I do say so myself ;).

Dinner out was lots of fun. Stephie, Steve, Tim, and myself walked to the restaurant/bar just outside of our neighborhood. And I know what you are thinking: "What about all the dangerous robbers? This is South Africa after all." Well since there was two guys it's pretty safe, also we live in a very nice neighborhood. Compared to where we are going in the middle of boonie-land. Absolutely nothing cosmopolitan in walking distance which will be quite the switch from here. If anyone who has been here might recall.
Poor Anita's feet have been bothering her a lot and she also had a bad tummy bug so she was driven to the restaurant. Oh yes, did I tell you I had a tum tum episode of my own? Ugh, it was terrible every time after eating I'd get excruciating pain and have to lie down. "Joy, why didn't you just stop eating?" Well I guess cause everytime it was time to eat I'd be ravenous and I'd forget the pain in the hopes that something yummy would heal my stomach. Didn't work. Quite unfortunate.
Oh yeah, sorry got off picking daisies there. But you know, at least I'm not an Aquarian! They make picking daisies a living, no kidding. Try having a conversation with Mommy(Rose) or Peeonie (Pailine), like MAJOR DAISIE PICKING! I still love you guys ha ha ha.
So din dins was great. All for free and all of us ate so much and there was still money to spend. It was coupons for the food (they are friends of ours) and we were trying to eat enough to fill the coupons. But us girlies couldn't eat very much and we ended up trying to get the boys to eat and drink more. So then both of them ended up with a tummy ache!
On the way back Steve and Tim kept on complaining about their tummies. Steve even took to walking strange for a while. Which was hilarious and we us to poked fun of him. Both guys are slim and it was so funny to see them try to compete over tummy size. The dorks couldn't even stick out their tummies, ha ha!

Well, I am getting hungry! But the team from the new house still hasn't showed up with our dinner. Ah well I shall just die of starvation and make them regret doodling and taking so long.
Love to everybody. "Big hug, little hug, big kiss, little kiss"

P.S. Ever watch "Nacho Libre"? Looooooooooong story...
