New stuff


Here are a few pictures from 2007 so far.

In January our friend Ting visited and taught us (Justina) how to make dumplings. She was embarassed that we were using a drinking glass instead of a rolling pin and commented that her mother would be ashamed of her if she ever found out. I assured Ting that that would never happen.


Singing with Amy, Jeff and Jessica in February. Justina's thinking "these people look like idiots..."


In early July Justina's cousin Ndatala visited (third from left). We arranged a fireworks display in her honor downtown on the mall, then watched from the room of Connie and Michael's building.











Later in July our friend Festus Mbandeka visited. No fireworks for him, we just hung out in the back yard. For some reason Justina finds this picture embarassing (as if there's some shame in eating watermelon).

I didn't come here to look at pictures, I came for a recommendation of catchy, intelligent country music!

Well then you should check out Jeff Middleton's excellent first album, I Might Be Wrong, which you can listen to and buy here. Just a few more sales and Jeff will be buying a van for a certain group of misfit minstrels...
