What we really do everyday

So we realize that our blog may be at times a misrepresentation of what we do everyday.  We do get to go to cool places and see neat things, but most of the time we are just hanging out at the house if we are not working.  Here are some of our typical activities:

Mowing the lawn: There are no lawn mowers so we use a cutlass to slash the grass back.

Reading Books: We average about a book a week each.

Listening to the radio: It has had a few spills, and yes those are twisty ties being used as wires,  but if we position it right, we can still get the BBC in the afternoon.

Washing Clothes:  This may be our most favorite thing to do.  It takes us all afternoon to do our laundry. On a good note our forearms are getting strong.

If it begins to rain or if it is particularly humid, we string it up all over our house at night.

 

Burning Trash: If we don’t burn the trash as soon as we take it out, the kids will ransack it.

Sweeping :  They don’t believe in handles in Ghana so it is quite the work out to sweep the house. During the dry season it gets so dusty we get to do it every day. 

Sorting the rice for rocks: Believe it or not but rocks are not good for your teeth so sorting rice is a must.  We also enjoy sorting the beans as well!
