The rain contest! October 23

We've been waiting! It's been hot! Weeks of 35 - 40 celsius and we are a landlocked country, so there is no nice ocean coolness. Some of us go almost crazy! Some of us are there even in the cool weather...:)

So...to loosen up tension that can be caused from too much heat - I run a "guess when the rains will start" contest. 

On the white board each of us announces our best guess. 

The white board was completely filled - no one,  not even Fanwell or Emmah misses out on this opportunity - even though these 4 month old wee ones will not partake of the chocolate cake! 

This year Mandalena was the winner. She took the cake home and her family all danced! 
And, for us here who "lost" we still ate cake as its not much fun being a loser in the chocolate cake contest.

By the way, we rec'd 5 mm and Lusaka had about 4 times that much....but all is okay - we enjoyed and rejoiced.  

God is in control and as always is reliable. The rains are coming....
