How did this happen?  the year is almost halfway through! 

The new Mercy Ship, the Africa Mercy arrived last week.  It is huge!  Haven't been on it yet, maybe tomorrow when I go to pick up a futon couch and a desk, along with some other small stuff.  Soon I can offer guests a place to sit other than dining room chairs. 

I have someone washing my floors right now so cleared out to get out of the way.  I am at the SIM office, which is now a mere 3 minute walk from my house.  This is where I come every Thursday to do my e-mailing, etc.

This next month will be devoted to getting things finished in the house. I have to put in some better security measures.  Doing that without looking like a fortress is the challenge.  I want it to look nice.  The breezeway between house and garage will actually become a nice little outdoor living room once the 2 walls are up, protecting the hidden back door better.  I'll put some cheap, cane country furniture out there with some plants...should be nice. The fence around the house is a different matter.  Could be very expensive, don't want to cut off the breeze from the ocean, needs to look nice but be able to keep out intruders.  How big to make it? I can't decide.  I may end up making a small private garden type place behind the house so the bedroom windows are within the fence, leaving the rest of the yard open.  Wouldn't you just love to come help plan and build this with me?

If you are reading my blog I"d love to get little comments, just so I know who is interested, who is reading it.  Neil always answers and encourages me, as does Terri.

This past week-end was a blur of activity as an architect from the UK came to look at the sight, interview some contractors here and meet with the ELWA  board, asking questions and opening our eyes to lots of stuff.  I was pleased to see how much Keith and I already had covered, before he came.  We will soon have a web-site up. should be www.trinitydental.com. 

My personal project this next month is to get all my thank-you letters out to my supporters.  I have been so very blessed with people who are faithfully supporting me.  This will take discipline to get this done but once done will feel so good. Look for your letter in the mail.  I am going to do "snail mail" as well for those who like stamps and the fun of getting a letter mailed  to them specifically.  Pray for me as I tackle this.  I'm serious!!

The waves today are spectacular.  Liberia is becoming known for it's surfing places.  For true!  There is even a movie/documentary being made, soon out.  here they call it sliding, not surfing.  So, if you want me to plan a surfing/sliding holiday let me know.  Keith, my partner in the Trinity Dental clinic is crazy about surfing.  He'll make sure you have a good time.

Must go.  Someone else is looking longingly at my internet hook-up cord so should be considerate.  My floor is probably already clean too so I can go back to the house.  Soon my blog should have pictures too. I'm going to figure it out.
