I'm still in Ghana.
Today was a Sunday, so lots of things were quieter. I was in in the morning and read the news and some stuff for work, while waiting for it to be morning there so that Mommy could tell me how things were going with the basement.
Then I went to the pool to do some exercise, and dropped off the deposit so that Grammy and Grampy will have a place to stay when they get here - yay! I am very excited to see everyone, and pretty soon now!
Then I came home to cook for a bit. Dr. Bill and Ms. Theresa and I had talked about having a dinner here, because it's sad to always cook for one (for me) and they always cook too much for just the two of them. So we invited some of the other people we live near over. I made red-red and plaintains. Red-red is a sort of stew with beans and tomatoes (which I know you like) and hot peppers (which I know you don't!). I'll try making it for you some time. It's called "red-red" because it's made with palm oil (which is bright red!) and red hot peppers. So, if I make it for you, it will just be "red!" But, wait - it has tomatoes which are red too... why isn't it called "red-red-red?"
When I was finished cooking, Mommy needed to talk to me about the basement, and you were going off to Abell Space with Grammy. So, I ended up talking to Mommy instead of going across the hall for dinner, but everyone said they liked the food, which was nice.
And now I'm back in the flat. It's a bit late, but I wanted to write a blog post for you. I miss you. Give Mommy and Grammy big hugs for me. I hope the basement is all done by now!
thanks for thinking of all of us and making all the arrangements and plans. Red has become my most favorite color of late, maybe it is all the studying of Chinese that convinced me. I got a red truck and have been buying red clothes too. For some reason red always, though, seems the hardest paint to work with and the least colorfast. See you soon. you will have m and r with you even sooner! love, dad xxx ooo
