POST 2
Ayana teaches us a bunch of Russian words like the word for Jesus is иисус (esuse). On Wednesday I accidentally put too much wood in the "pitchka" and made the water boil and really hot; like steamy hot. It made steam go all over the bathroom. The water from the water box boiled out and washed the mortar out like mud. It took two or three hours for Dad to clean it up. The two elements that the mortar was made out of were clay and sand. Gera and Dad wiped it on with their hands. It wasn't like normal mortar. The fire was too hot so we took some of the wood out of the fire place. Then we put it in a silver bucket while it was still on fire and took it outside. Then we had to hook a tube up to the water box and the other end to a little valve and then we turned it on and filled the pipes up with water.
You are learning so much Dickson! What a help you are to your mom & dad! Thanks for the glimpse into your world. We love you, Poppa & Granna
ReplyDeleteThis is poppa. I love your blog. I wish I could mess your hair up. Seriously, the Bible talks about Taylor and Elizabeth's children being arrows in their quiver. It seems to me you and Cheyne and Cana and Lila and Shepherd are becoming strong spears. I see it in the words you write, through Skype and Facebook and email. Your growing curve is steep. I am so proud of you all and love you so much. Keep writing. It is one of my windows to your mind
ReplyDeleteHey Dickson! I love reading your blog! Thanks for sharing your heart and your perspective. I sure do miss you a lot! Is it getting really cold there? It's supposed to be 17 degrees here tomorrow! Guess the moral of the story is "too much of a good thing is just too much"--sometimes. But not when you're talking about Jesus! I love you!!
ReplyDeleteBy the way...this is Aunt Nat
ReplyDeleteHey Dickson this is Grandad.
ReplyDeleteLoved reading your blog. You've got a gift for writing, you write with purpose just like your Dad. Your stories aren't just words about happenings they speak life to the mind of your readers.
I'll bet that was a life-happening with the "pitchka", one you won't soon forget. Sounds like things got heated up big time.
Interesting, the word for Jesus in Russian is "esuse" , I wonder if it is pronounced somewhat like the word for Jesus in Greek, [Iesous /ee·ay·sooce/].
Loved visiting with you last night. Miss you big time but seeing you on Skype helps soooooo much. Love you..Gdad
