Today Melinda has been including me in meal preparation.
Telling me the names for foods (she is still in awe that I want to learn
Creole) and teaching me how to prepare vegetables and Balets. (meatballs,
although I am completely unsure on the spelling.) In return I pulled out my
vegetable peeler, whisk, knife and slicer from my bag and showed her how to use
them. She giggled tremendously while trying each tool and has since grown
severely attached to the peeler.
It is easy to lose track of time and day here. Sometimes I
feel like the princess locked up in the tower with time relentlessly marching
on. Being so cut off from everything and
not allowed to even take a walk with the babes is so foreign to me. The babes
become restless now and then, but this house is big enough that they can usually wiggle it out. They are still anxious to go to the beach.
Once We have been paid and catch up on bills, Abe said I may hire Wilman to
take us to the ocean.
