Our house in Tabubil was new – a strange experience for us!  We filled it with hand-me-downs from other kids in town, cardboard box craft and all sorts of stones and rocks collected from exploring outside.  We lived right on the main road, just at the point where the mine trucks would change gear heading up the hill, at 4am!  Every window was over looked from the street, but it’s amazing what you can get used to (sort of). 

Lena came and cleaned the house beautifully once a week. She worked magic and I loved getting to know her even a little. She has 3 kids, one who came with her sometimes. Edna sat quietly, probably thinking how boring our house was, compared to where she lived, which was much noisier with kids and families all around.
