Moving Again

November 29, 2011 A Repat

It was way back at the end of June when we packed those Eighteen Boxes and Mr. Potato Head and took off for wintry Bloemfontein and two months of unforgettable memories. As we drove back from Thanksgiving in Atlanta Sunday evening, sun setting, sky deep blue, and yellow near the horizon, the branches of a [...]

For years now, the New King James Version of the Bible has been the translation I’ve readily gone to. I admit that I didn’t do a ton of research about it, but I heard that it was a close word-for-word translation and so I leaned on it heavily. (Although I also sometimes look up a [...]

There are lessons in life that we learn and don’t usually forget. Like riding a bicycle or tying your shoes, usually once you’ve got it, you’ve got it. But there are also lessons in life that we need reminding about. Like when it comes to learning a language, it’s use it or lose it. Perhaps [...]

I am loving being back into the kitchen — now that I’m beginning to get the hang of navigating the local grocery store. {How weird is it to feel like a foreigner in the grocery store you’ve been going to since you were a kid?} I’ve almost completely stopped converting prices back into Rand in [...]
