- Hunt for printer cartridge (unsuccessful)
- DeeBee's for talk time, a can opener, and sticky tac

Unique to this week's shopping adventures:
- Bartering in the market for chitenges (two meter pieces of cloth worn by every Zambian woman)
- An official Wonderbake visit, complete with an enormous cherry scone, and a little cup of ice cream
Ha-Just noticed the wallpaper in the kitchen....I think the same wallpaper SueAnne had in her Elkhart house and Nancy Wilmsen had in her kitchen....very popular print.
ReplyDeleteHow many errand running days are you finding you have each week?
ONE. Praise God!
DeleteQuite a catch! I like the name DeeBees--makes me smile. The hardware in Garessio wrapped all items in newspaper; the florist handed you a bouquet upside-down (easier on the stems); and the bank was open...well, we never really figured that one out! Errands are fun but taxing in foreign countries!
