American Junk Food

I was still a bit nauseas when we arrived in the states but each day it became less and less and I was good to go for Thanksgiving. I was so THANKFUL I could eat the turkey, dressing, and all the fix'ins.
I must say, that Amercia has the best junk food and the most variety. And the icecream is so much better. I think I'll be huge by the time I get back to Africa. I can't believe you can still buy popsicles in the winter time, but for me and Beanie it was a welcomed surprise. I'm glad that I can put popsicles and pretzels behind me and enjoy some of the finer foods, like Arbies curly fries and pizza, hee hee. No seriously, I can now each more veggies, lettuce, and other healthy things and that's nice too, gotta keep that fiber intake up, yikes.

Jeff update:
Jeff is doing some maintenance on the King Air that FM is purchasing from Dynamic Aviation in VA. He is also starting the process of installing an extra full tank so that they can fly for longer distances in one shot. This will cut their ferrying time down from 12 days to 5 or 6. He hopes to be leaving by the 8th. Please pray for him and all the details.

catch you later,
Michele

final product

This little jub was fired in reduction, very high temp. for about 12 hours. It takes an entire gas bottle, one that is about should height to me. Great colors though.
















Here is the back side of that jug and a small bottle.
















I made a mold of my hands, outside and inside, this is one side of the vase.
















This is the other.









So nice to finally be able to bring some stuff home. Now all I need is more shelves, hee hee.
love,
