The Rumor Mill

Today we heard some potentially great news. Our principal emailed us today and said that she was informed that we could possibly be getting our shipment from the States in 7-10 days. Now nothing over here is set in stone and we are aware that things can be delayed for a myriad of reasons. This however was huge news for us.

Normally people have received their shipments anywhere from the end of September into the middle of November. This could be some sort of record if the date holds. That shipment has some great stuff for the kids, Kathi and I. Stuff like bikes for the kids, more clothes for all of us, teaching supplies, games and toys as well as a couch, love seat and our beds from home. Not to mention our food that we stocked up on from Costco.

Currently we are eating on Chevron plates and our cook is using only the spices that can be purchased here. Having a full complement of dishes and cooking supplies will really help. We We also have been using the Chevron furniture which is a kin to doctors office furniture circa 1977. Needless to say we were all very excited by the news. In fact it almost elicited tears of joy from Syd. We will be keeping hope alive for the next week or so.
