One of the giddy sisters here, the smaller one.
We are having a good time together. What a great bunch of people I have here. At this time of the day Sandra and I are very overtired and extremely giddy, but I am really enjoying having someone to be giddy with.
A ton of work is being done on the school. Things are moving along nicely. Alex and TiFi are both benefiting from the attention of the other giddy sister and of non-giddy Faith.
Today a large contingent of blan yo (12) walked from the HATS compound to Luckner's house, along with Alex (in stroller) and Pal on a leash. It appeared that Pal was walking Gerry most of the time. This walk brought a lot of attention and stirred a lot of comments, but was well enjoyed.
Tomorrow morning I plan to take some of the group to the market in Verrettes. Sunday afternoon we plan to take them to Ti Riviere, and one day next week we are planning on a beach day. So, who came here to work anyway??
It is fantastic for me to have the group here, but is going to be extremely difficult to see them leave.
Now the other giddy sister needs to write a few lines.
We are having a great time....much too hot. Karen wears jeans, corduroy pants and long sleeves and the rest of us are melting!
We have eaten a lot of good food and had a few good laughs. We go to bed early......last night I woke up having to go to the bathroom and I looked at my watch to see what time it was only to find out it was 10:20PM. I laughed so hard I woke Dickie and he wanted to know what was wrong and I told him it was only 10:20 PM and he said "good" and went back to sleep.
It is good to be back again. I love the children and seeing how they have grown and changed. It is so good to see the staff and families and we look forward to school starting on Monday so we can see it in action. The storage and cook area are great and I have been taking food over to the Haitian workers to cook there daily. The work team at the school are all working so hard and they have a great rapore with the Haitian workers and you can find them laughing and teasing each other as they work.
It is too late and I am too tired to write anything intelligent tonight. Dickie has some good pictures and I hope to get some up soon.

Ha ha, that's hilarious, waking up to go pee and it's only 10:30. I laughed out loud when I read that, thanks! Thanks also for keeping my Mom company for a bit, I know how badly she needs it!
Hey Giddy Mom and Giddy Aunt,
I guess I come by it honestly...
Glad to hear you are having so much fun! I laughed out loud too (about your bathroom break).
Love you lots!
Wow, I laughed at the comment about waking up to pee and it being only 10:30 too! I guess we all share a wierd sense of humour or something. Keep posting, you too crazy ladies, I'm really enjoying reading about your time together.
