I'm enjoying my stay here in Kansas City very much, especially the cold, snowy weather. I returned from my last trip toTanzania in early December and moved into my house here in Merriam. Actually I did not have much furniture, but my brother and sisters have been helping me in that area. My son, Kyle graduated from K State about a week after I returned and then I moved his bedroom furniture into one of my spare bedrooms. He headed back to Texas to look for a job and spend some time living with his mom. I think he will also be looking for a job in Kansas also, as they develop. His major was Finance, so that should give him a few options.
Besides shopping for used furniture, I've been visiting a local doctor to get my blood pressure down. That has been a problem in Tanzania for the last year or so. I may also have to start some meds for high cholestrol. I hope to get that all under control before I return to Tanzania in April. I've also been getting my bank set up for paying the monthly bills on-line and transferring investments to the KC area. One of my biggest concerns has been locating 30 used laptop computers to take back to Tanzania. I think I finally found a good source for those recently. Now I need to find an inexpensive way to get them shipped.
These computers are mostly for teachers at Kowak Girls Secondary where I have been working the last 3 years. They are each paying me when I return by a salary deductions over a 4 month period. After they saw the 3 laptops I brought back in October they decided it was too cheap to pass up. It appears the cheapest way to get these to TZ is to take them with me on the plane, but what a hassle that will be (4 extra 50 lb boxes).
That's about it for now. Keep in touch.
