New Adventures Ahead

Hope to add yet another positive experience to life in Tamale. My first sojourn in Ghana was total novelty, the second was getting accustomed to our own home, and this third.....remains to be seen.
One of our sons once introduced us to a game of "Highs and Lows" and I thought of that in my first few days back. "Lows" included a dust-covered house, a multitude of cobwebs, and electrical problems affecting refrigerator, computer, and lights. The "Highs," however, won out with the house still standing, beautiful plants surviving, being met at the airport by one of Jim's colleagues, and having a home-cooked breakfast prepared by Kris, the son of a good college friend who recently accepted a job in Tamale with Catholic Relief Services and who just happens to live a short walk from our place. Last but not least were the warm greetings of both strangers and friends.
The house is now cleaned, a knowledgeable electrician has put us back on track, and Jim was enthusiastically welcomed time and again by people on the street and his co-workers in the hospital.
