Children and visiting

I have been wondering why God allowed the kitten to be dropped in my back yard. It takes up quite a bit of my time, etc. Well, the Good News Club had 5 new faces this morning – word has gotten out about Thursday and all the children wanted to see the kitten again… After the meeting, 2 boys, Michael and Ontray came over to “help” with the kitten. Michael is especially fond of the little thing. After playing with lego for a bit, they took their leave, waving and announcing “Us is coming another day” (i.e. we’ll be back)
3.00 pm Just as we were about to leave to visit Tammy and Gavin Williams, we received a call from Arthur March telling us that he was concerned about our dogs. They were listless, and had hardly eaten since our last visit. Of course, we high tailed it to Scotland , and were most relieved to find our “girls” behaving as normal. We think their “offishness” was due to 2 pig’s trotters that we had brought them as a treat on Thursday – they are not used to such rich food any more.
From the dogs, we went to visit the Williams. Little time was lost in polite conversation, and we got straight to “spiritual talk”. We found ourselves warming to these dear folk.
Next was an evening meal with Nick Thorpe and Lolly. There were a few other guests as well. Lolly cooked traditional St Helenian dishes – for my sake! She is a lovely lady, and kindly explained how to make some of the dishes – St Helenian fish cakes; Chetney; stuffed tuna; pumpkin, cabbage and potato stew. A few days ago, we had given Nick 3 litchee seedlings. When we were about to leave, we were handed a "thank you" gift of 6 eggs. This was very appreciated, as eggs are scarce at the moment.
