Off to Africa

Mom and Dad are leaving tomorrow to go to Macha Mission Hospital in the Choma district of Zambia. They've done this kind of thing before, but that was about eighteen years ago, when the kids were all old enough to be ornery (I'm never ornery, but I was living on my own by then)( "Never"?--Mrs. Editor). Now they're used to having a passel of grandkids around--a "passel" being slightly less than a herd. It'll be interesting to see how Mom copes with ten months of being on another continent from them. On the other hand, we have Skype now, and even in rural Zambia you can get an Internet connection.
I suspect that Zambia is about to get its own Mme Ramotswe.
