4th of July Party

4th of July

We had a big party this week for 4th of July. If you live in a capitol city where there is a US Consulate, Americans are often invited for hot dogs/hamburgers grilled on a bbq. We were far away from Bamako where the Consulate is, even though we were invited, too.So we had our own party. Tom & Laura came from Fourou, Ernie and Jan came, we invited our friends the Curry's. So we had a lot of people over. We grilled meat kabobs, and enjoyed a variety of potluck cuisine! We had time to talk, play some card games, and enjoy each others company a bit. No fireworks, but a good time was had by all.Here is a pic of Ben watching over the brochettes (Kabobs.)They were tasty. Want to come visit next 4th of July.

The party was made even better as we made the day before a plumbing party. Ernie and Tom helped me get Lisa's kitchen sick operating properly.We also got our washing machine and water pump hooked up.(Its amazing how productive 3 men can get when spurring each other on to love and good deeds in house repair!) Of course it did cost us our bathroom sink, but that will be back in use again soon!

I only lamented Cornerstone for a little bit. (I, Tom try to do Cornerstone music festival whenever possible. It happens over 3th of July weekend, and it makes me homesick for such goings on.)I sure miss stretching my borders, and passing time with fine brothers and sisters in Christ there. (See ya ASAP, friends!)

Thanks for stopping by,Tom & Lisa Seward
