Don't we all go a little crazy at Christmas? When really we would love time to just chill? We think about how peaceful it is at this time of year but actually, with church programs, baking, people coming over, visiting, cooking, and whatever, is it really? I am a bit torn because I love being busy. I love serving. But I also am very good at vegging. (Doesn't that word look like legging with a "V"? I mean, it is, but it makes me want to say it with a hard "G" sound to make it rhyme with...ugh, I digress!!!) I love people and yet sometimes I just want to watch a movie. My first Christmas in Tamale was a success. It was full of busy-busy and yet some quiet. It did have some sad moments because as cool as it is to be here, I really missed home. Maybe since I was home last year? Maybe because my family is so amazing? Maybe because deep down in me there is a liking for cold? (Nahhhhhh, No Way.)On Christmas Eve, Damary and I went over to P.Andrew and Jemima's place to help prepare for the next day. We cut up vegetables. Really, I did work some of the time :) We fried chicken. Really, Jemi did most of it and I just stirred and put things in and took things out. We kind of, sort of, ended up eating a lot of the fried chicken because it was soooo good! Jemi must have a secret spice she throws in with it. We could not stop eating it!
I just have to throw in a pic of Sister Jemima eating her pork. She is so beautiful and always stays behind the scenes doing so much work.
Happy New Year! I hope you have some goals for 2017!!
