Teresa & Jean and I took some fun shots at the Stevenson's when all the HIS faculty was invited for dinner and fellowship. The above and next several photos (below) are from that night.
Yes, this is a real snake skin at the Stevenson's. I think it was a Boa skin... and the combined height/length of Jean (at 5'6 or so), Teresa (at 5'5) and Jill (at 6'3) was too short still when measured against it.
I wanted you to also see the width of it- wider than Teresa in this picture...

Jean didn't actually climb into this pot, but it sure looked like it! :)
The Coke man sometimes delivers Cokes in this cart. These kids climbed in and looked like they were having a lot of fun one day as I drove past. Too cute.
Playing around with my camera at school one morning, we ended up with cute shots like this one--- Clockwise surrounding me is Star poking at Kahan, then Bertha (best expression!!!), Tom, Lydia and Tiya.
Tiya posing with -who's glasses?-! Tiya, you look puurtty!!
Kahan shared his testimony with the 5th graders in May. So proud of him!
One morning in May, my Monday guard, Walter came with a surprise for me. A Woodland Kingfisher bird! I'm nearly directly quoting here, "A bird flew into your garage door at around 7 a.m., and it knocked itself out. So I tied a string around its leg and waited for it to wake up. I wanted to save it for you." Umm. I guess they know I love these birds, but I don't want to keep one as a pet! I was up and around, even talking to my guard at other times, but he didn't tell me about the bird until nearly 2 hours after he caught the bird. He came with the bird still tied and showed it to me. It was so scared, of course, but my guard really wanted me to get a photo of it before he released it. So I've got an up close and personal photo of the kingfisher who, I hope, has learned its lesson (not to blend a garage door, string and my guard in one morning).
This is "Ensenene" (pronounced En-Sen-Nay-Nay; not sure if I got the spelling right but it is close), which is Luganda for grasshoppers. They are a favorite snack amongst many Ugandans. Nope, I've not tried them and don't plan to. Some say they taste nutty and they're crunchy. I'll just trust that opinion.
Joseph & The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat... the musical was performed at HIS in May. What a wonderful job the kids did! I can't think of one person who wasn't involved somehow- whether in acting, singing, music, set, costumes, etc.- it was a great production and I'm so proud of our students and families of HIS.
The HIS Kindergarten graduated May 21st and their fabulous teacher, Alicia, had them draw pictures of what they want to be when they grow up. Too cute!
After the mucial, we celebrated with cake, cookies, etc. along with Logan, Lubega (Joseph stage hands), Lino and Solomon (both actors)and the exausted and "Amazing" director, Keeley!!!
Bec and me in the classroom. Hey Bex! :)
