Sean took this picture of these adorable puppies the other day. They are somebody's pets. That's right...this is what I tell myself so I can sleep at night. The other day at language school, one of my classmates was sharing a story about seeing a dog get run over by a guy on a motorcycle. He was telling the story (in his limited Indonesian) to one of the sweetest little Indonesian gals that I've met. She's kind and thoughtful and polite and a good teacher. As the story went on, Ibu Tasya was smiling and nodding. We were all waiting for her to exclaim, "Oh, the poor puppy! Was he okay?!" But guess what she said? "Oh, I LOVE dog meat! It's my favorite. I don't like the small dogs, but the big dogs are so tasty!" We all sat there speechless, waiting for her to laugh and say, "Just kidding!" She did not. We went on with class as if she'd just proclaimed that she really enjoys eating a good salmon fillet when she can get one....
Congrats!
ReplyDeleteWOO HOO! Now I have permission to tell EVERYONE....although Chad couldn't wait and has already told everyone at the hangar! The kids are so excited for you. Josiah said that it will be his best birthday ever - since you're due around his birthday!
ReplyDeleteWow! I had no idea I was going to give Josiah HIS BEST BIRTHDAY EVER! That's too cute.
ReplyDeleteYou really hadn't told everyone yet?!
Congratulations!

Congrats to you!! I'm a regular reader in Olathe, KS and just love your blog. Can't wait for the coming months ahead and especially the new arrival in December. I'm glad you are in Oaxaca now. My folks lived in Mexico City for 5 years and I remember them talking of Oaxaca fondly. They even took me there when I was visiting them once. I think you'll love it there, really. Keep up the good work you are doing- and again, cheers from Kansas!
