Room finished

The Bessie Head Room has been finished and the 3 views here show what it looks like now. Her typewriter and her books need to be added to the work area, and a bed will be placed beside the desk. This will approximate the work space in which she produced her writing and hopefully inspire young visitors to see that you don’t need to live in a castle in order to be a writer. You can even see where candles have burned into the top of her desk. Everyone here is delighted with the results.

Today we visited the Khama Rhino Sanctuary with the 2 children from the yard. I don’t have pictures yet because Laurel brought a wonderful new camera which we used and for which we don’t have the proper drivers for downloading. We were able to get very close to giraffe, zebra, wildebeests, and pretty close to the rhinos.

This is likely the last blog for a couple of weeks. We are off on safari and don’t know what computer facilities will be available. I am kind of hoping that there won’t be any to spoil the natural atmosphere! We will post pictures when we get back so look for these in about 2 weeks.
