This past week I have been focused on finishing one of the quilts for family. This one is made of Tee Shirts from Whattaburger and has come out really nicely. I used the shirts from Tarek and then fabric from Africa..... and I'll put a picture on when the last of the hand stitching is finished today.
Many of the foreign workers here are on a rotation basis. They come for 28 days and then return home for 26 days. Bryan did this for several years and it is tough on them. They work 7 days a week during their time on and it is a 12 hour day except for Sunday when they work 6 hours. The work is stressful and then the isolation adds to the stress.....so Bryan and I invited all of his rotators that are here in Angola now and had a barbecue.....with our gas grill from California. It was great. The men come from the Philippines, Romania, India, Canada and Trinidad. They brought sausages from Romania, Indian sausages and snacks and wine to share. It was a really nice afternoon.
Bryan is so happy to have his grill here. I think there will be more times of cook outs over the time we are here.

In the background you can see the garden greens. We continue to get okra, peppers, spinach, two kinds of lettuce, and our watermelon is growing.
Later in the afternoon one of the newer couples dropped by for a visit. They had just returned the day before from a conference in the USA. Good to have them back.
