Progress....?

Don't be fooled, I am not really working. :)

These photos were taken on a Thursday morning and as we speak there is more cementing and tiling begin completed! I am very excited - so are the kids since they have a BUNCH of toys now!

Farm Friends

Here are the boys with some other little friends; The parents work on the farm so the family lives here. And of course the dogs, Tammy and Misha.

Hunting Blesbok on the farm

Okay, so it isn't really hunting when you know exactly where they are all the time but my father-in-law, husband and boys went out one evening and shot three blesbok. The meat is lekker (good)!!

Blesbok Biltong, Boerewors, Chilli bites, Droevors....

Okay - so the photos are in reverse order. Doh! But you get the picture. :) I promise it all tastes really good!

Boeredag - Rouxville 2011 (Farmers Day)

Pappa Lourens was working behind the bar the whole day - bad: didn't get to see him much..good: free drinks!

Zander and some buddies.

Owen being silly, as usual and strutting around like he owned the place.

The sheep were kept here and after some anouncements and a prayer, the festivities got underway. There were men's and women's programs for the day that included making sushi, pole dancing (oh yeah), grass races, sheep commpetitions and lots of food and drinks!

My camera died way too early so there are no photos of Mamma - shocker! A fun (and long) day was had by all and we went home that night and slept well.

There was also some "dancing" going on BY MY CHILDREN ONLY but that was okay!! It was still fun.

Working Through It

The past couple of weeks have come and gone and we have not made too much progress. Things we still need to check off to the TO DO list:
- Paint
- Tile
- Install shower, toilet and sink
- Pick up belongings and bring to the farm
- Purchase a vehicle

Hmmm...the painting and the tiling look like the easiest to complete. Once all the South African holidays are done. It seems like there is at least one or two vacation days each week around this time of year.

Zander had a play date today with a local little boy - I was so happy - it looked like they had a good time so I hope it can be a repeat occasion. Need to charge the batteries in the camera so I can share a little more.

:) Be well!
