Today was the big day for our Farewell Potluck for Judi and Jimmy, saying a special thank you to some of those who have helped us so much, and packing up to head out with Njoki and Natasha.
Where do we begin - well, we started by a making a visit to our dear friend, Annette. If it hadn't been for the unfailing help she has given our co-workers with their computer problems, and the very clear and personal help she is always so ready to give them, we never would have figured out how to use the computer on our own. (We know - it's not nice to eavesdrop, but what's a mouse to do?)
Obviously, one of our first stops had to be at her cube, were she very generously pulled up a map to help us get an idea of where we would be going. Minneapolis, Detroit, London, Nairobi!
The next stop just had to be with Sylvia and Patty. You may remember that they are the pregnancy nurses who introduced me to my dear, Janet, saw her through her difficult pregnancy, and brought the twins into the world. They said it was a rather bittersweet farewell for them, as seeing the twins off to their new life in Kenya was a little bit like seeing their own kids grow up and leave home. We really know what they mean!
At the end of our workday today, we will leave with Natasha to finish our orientation for the big adventure. Saturday we will be off to - AFRICA!
