My body is still protesting against yesterday's unannounced runaway fire. My eyes are burning, my back is acing and I have a mysterious pain in my hand. We left Danie’s parents farm on Maclear yesterday morning to go to the church fete. The wind was really strong and Danie made the comment: “ I hope there are no fires today” He just said it when he saw a very small and insignificant fire next to the road. He immediately saw the danger in that small fire and we turned around to go and get some water to extinguish it. I decided to make my way back up the farm road to take our three children and their cousin to the fete. As I was leaving the farm gate a guy came running down the hill waving his arms franticly and I presumed he wanted me to turn around. I have seen so many movies of people trapped between fires that I decided to see if I can’t get past it, because it was really small 5 min ago. As I came round the bend the fire was upon me. Danie phoned me a...
Well, it is nearly Christmas and Corono is stronger than ever.... we also had an earthquake today. I felt it while sleeping and thought I was dreaming. So weird! So what happend in the last 5 months.... not much... ha ha. Here is more pictures to remember the last 5 months. We went for a bike ride next to the Vardar river We made a lemon clock Jac got a weather station Lots of watermelons in the summer-------watermelon juice Zane turned 16! Happy Sweet 16 I started making visual schedules for Chereni and Jac. At the beginning of August I got the school ready for our new year of school. Friends of our had to leave the country and we babysat their dog for a couple of weeks. We finally got to go and get our permits for Macedonia, 5 months after they have expired! Neo-Rie finally finshesd her mosaic - a year after starting it! This year was the first of many things - Neo-Rie is going to school for the first time. It was a really hard decision...
Vandag is die laaste dag van 2009. 'n wonderlike jaar op sy einde. Zane is baie opgewonde oor alles hier, net die sweet wat hom aftap. NĂȘo-Rie is maar nog emotioneel en huil vinnig, maar dinge begin nou beter raak. Jac het begin sit- whoopee!!!. Die dag voor kersfees het hy vir die eerste keer gesit, en die dag na Kersfees omgerol. Nou kan ek hom nie meer alleen op 'n bed los nie. Die afgelope twee dae was Jac se koors nie baie lekker nie, so tussen 38 en 40 grade. Het hom gister by die dokter gehad, volgens hom net 'n bietjie rooi keel en loopneus. Hy slaap op die oomblik so ek hoop hy sal okey wees. Ons het 'n heerlike Kersfees op Ohrigstad gehad, die kinders het die week by ouma en oupa baie geniet. Ons het nie veel gedoen nie, net gerus van na die trek af. Die trek self was aan die begin heel okey gewees vir my, maar toe raak dit op 'n stadium te veel, want die plek se pakplek is so klein ek kan ons goed inkry nie. So ons het alweer 4 bokse geoogmerk om weg te g...
