Oranges and such

The handy dandy juicer.
This is a great little tool. It's more of a press than a juicer. By the way this one doesn't belong to me but I do have one on my wish list. :) So, if you happen to see one let me know!
They are so useful here as you'll see in the pictures below.

When fruit comes into season it comes in full force. Now we have oranges and grapefruits a plenty and they're great for fresh juice. The press above is easy to use, not messy and fast.

Our oranges tend to be more green and yellow on the outside and not so much orange.

We said goodbye to Faith's parents last Wednesday night. They had good flights and a good drive home. We had a fabulous time with them and are so glad they could come visit. I'll post more pictures of their time here soon.

A Family Visit

We have been anticipating a visit from Faith's parents, and they have arrived.
The kids are having a great time with Grammie and Grandpa. They enjoy lots of story time with Grammie. Grandpa's been helping out with various projects around our house. They're getting a glimpse of what we do here. We were also able to visit one of the village locations that our mission works in.

They left cold, snowy north eastern Pennsylvania for hot, dry Guinea. Here's a picture of them at the beach. It will be an adjustment for them to go back to the freezing temps. Sometime last week we saw 106F on the thermometer.

Can you imagine swimming at this time of year??? We had a wonderful time playing in the water and waves.

We also had a nice campfire complete with s'mores.
