Happy Brthday Dad

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD

Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and miss you. You would love Africa! Everything is done with a hammer or some tool that the men have made themselves by rigging stuff together. Lots of old tires and tubes cut into strips to hold stuff together and you just wonder. HOW LONG WILL THIS BUS CONTINUE TO RUN? Trucks stopped in the middle of the road or street and men under them working on them. Everyone knows another guy that has just what you need if you have the money and it may not be just what you need but a little pounding can make it fit. Engines are easy as they are old and there really isn't any word for hurry here. It's a wonderful, magical, ( magical because of how things hold together so long) and very friendly place. Sorry you missed this adventure with me. Cindi, that wonderful daughter in law that gave us those Fyle kids, made some little hats for newborns. So, in honor of your birthday, I gave them away today. Last count at 4pm there were 9 births so far today. Here are some of the recipients of the gifts. Some of these little ones are so premie but the moms were so grateful. All the moms say Awadefo Cindi!
