Quick notes

Hello from Lusaka, at all volunteer conference - real volunteer now! Move into hut this week. Doing well, miss everyone. Great birthday. The group surprised me by gathering outside my door and singing happy birthday and they got me a piece of cake (real luxury here), 3 Super Maheus (a drink made of corn meal that I love) and 2, yes 2 bottles of real Scotch Whiskey, and Laney gave me a straw hat and Justin bought me a t-shirt at the conference today! Gotta go, time's almost up!

Mom - got book package, did not get one listed in birthday card (thanks for the wonderful card) - won't get for few months as will have to be forwarded through Peace Corps - still don't have new add yet - will be a PO Box in Monze w/ Tim.

Love you and miss you all,

Sisters - thanks for the wonderful comments on my last entry :)

You can always get chips and salsa and eat some for me...yum...chips *sigh* (dreaming).
My Bamaama has a lemon tree in her back yard and now everyday, because of me, she cuts up a lemon t squeeze into her water - she loves it. :)

HAppy Birthday

Happy Birthday, honey. We miss you... hope you had a great birthday - sounds like you did. That's too bad you didn't get the last box - don't know why it's taking so long to get to you. Hopefully nothing in it will gt ruined by the long delay. :(

Let us know your new PO box as soon as you can.
Love - Mommy

Aurelia -
I miss you! I wrote you back, hope you got it...and I wrote you again last week but that was before I thought of checking here to see if you had been able to write...so you probably won't get that letter :(
Oh well - I'll write again as soon as I get a new address for you, take care of yourself and let me know if you need anything. Oh yeah, and make sure you have fun too.. :) - Terri
