Almost a Full Week of School

Apparently, we've been around one too many dogs, and we think Gregg has fleas again. Twice this week we treated all the bedding, clothes, floors, and bodies. However, new bites keep appearing so looks like Monday will bring a another full treatment. Yuca offered a chemical that kills fleas for outside so we sprayed all around the front door and truck.

Truthfully, none of us believe the fleas are outside the house, but we heard that the chemical is also good to deter snakes. So, Amy jumped on getting some of the solution in a heartbeat. We have actually been very blessed to have escaped the torment of snakes ever since we filled the gaps and spaces around the front with sand. However, one cannot be too careful when it comes to creepy, crawly things.



We found another ancient vehicle to add to our collection. This one is actually for sale. Any takers?


Our internet has been very inconsistent this week despite the new router, but at least we have a connection part of the time. However, both computer days this week turned into game days for Uno. Don't tell anyone, but we taught the kids how to shuffle cards...but in English, of course. :)

Monday was a holiday and we couldn't go to Los Peralos this week, but otherwise, the week was full with school or taking families to and from Feliciano for appointments or other needs. We even got the truck door fixed.

We are told that the next missionaries coming to Argentina, the Copes, are making progress on their visa acquisitions so we are starting to feel a little nostalgia for this place as our departure date is within sight. Following are some of the typical scenes we want to remember.








We want to remember these scenes that we witness outside our windows everyday. With rain on Saturday and Sunday, we are home bound again so Amy often paces the house observing these sights while listening to Spanish tapes or good books. (Gregg works out with our exercise equipment and then sits while he reads and reads.)

The miracle of the week was getting strong internet connection on Saturday for no apparent reason. We are suppose to get an antenna on our roof tomorrow, but with rain over the weekend, it's not likely that anyone will make it out here for the installation. Therefore, we are delighted to have connection again. What a blessing or we would not be updating the blog, connecting with our kids, looking up how to rid ourselves of fleas, or the other hundred things we do with the internet.
