A rat a day...
Dear Family,
Sounds delicious, eh? :)
We didn't eat it, silly! Today we found it, first as it was in the kitchen cupboard, slowly feeling the effects of the poison, and then a few hours later, as it was dead, under the desk. But, we disposed of it quickly and how we're in good shape. Hopefully we won't find empty peanut shells in the kitchen cupboard now!
We're mainly healthy. Bubby still has a cold, and he sometimes has a fever. But the sores are all under control, so we're thankful for that.
We have been going full speed ahead on language learning. We have been trying to only communicate with people in Sam, but it is REALY hard - Dave especially has questions that he want's to ask, that he can't figure out how to ask in Sam, so it's frustrating for him, and he occassionally lapses back into the trade language. But, we still want to say more and more in Sam.
We have been having mostly sunny mornings, and then overcast afternoons, with rain a few nights. When the nights are rainy we get rainbugs that launch themselves in droves at the lights we have on in the house. If we turned out the lights we would have no rain bugs, but also it's very hard to read or work on things. If it's not raining, then we get the big flying bugs that have a lot of juice inside them. Splat! Amazing amount of juice inside! :)
OK, better send this. Take care, and love,
Dave and Sarah
