  • Time Home Short

    April 17, 2008

     

    Tomorrow will be a week since we have returned to Zambia.  Things move so fast these days that it’s hard to remember what all has happened over the last 6 weeks.  Our time at home was short but full.  Sal received his treatments, which made him sick for a couple weeks, but all in all went pretty well…..Three series down and one more to go.  Seeing and spending time with family is always something we delight in.  We were ecstatic to have been able to spend Easter Sunday together and actually have a meal all together in the same house.  We haven’t all been together in one house for a holiday since before Gabe went into the hospital…that was Dec 2006. Needless to say it was great to all be together. We had business to take care of for our company “Associates in Emergency Care” namely an accreditation renewal and the request to establish ourselves as a training center under AHA and we had taxes to complete.  We had apartment hunting to do and assisting with the relocation of our youngest son.  We had meetings with friends, a couple welcome home parties, and a wedding.  There were doctor appointments and dental check-ups. At one point, we separated and went to different parts of the country.  Sal  went to Connecticut and I went to Missouri and California. We spoke at churches, dinner meetings, luncheons and even had a television interview.  Sal of course golfed any chance he got which really wasn’t much and he went in 40 degree weather to boot! Most of the clothes we brought home stayed in the suitcases and I had to borrow warmer clothes just to get through the cold month of March.

    Now back on African soil, it’s capris and sandals again!!! The clinic ran smoothly while we were gone.  Geoffrey and the staff did a great job!  Now, finally over jet lag, it's time for catching up and seeking God.
