The hardest part.......

.....of living in Uganda isn't the mosquitoes, the erratic electricity, the bad roads, the bad drivers, the maddeningly slow internet, the cold showers, the lack of quality goods, the lack of modern appliances in our house, or even having to hand wash our laundry. Hands down, the hardest part is not being able to communicate with my adorable granddaughter--in person or by webcam. What could be better than that pretty, smiling face saying 'hi nana'?

Thanks Casey and Cherri! Hope you both have a lovely christmas.

Will give a full report of the cottage and lake where we'll be staying. Partying with some fun volunteers as well.

May is just over 4 months away, right? Then I can see my wee angelface!

Hey Danny and Annie,

No Grandbaby on Christmas.
Well, pooh! But you're providing her with some great bragging rights..."my Grandma is in Uganda helping build up the schools"!

Merry Christmas to you and Danny.

Much love,

Aubrey & John
