But, since we live in one suburb, our kids' schools were in two other suburbs (10 min and 20 min from our home) and there are FEW school buses, and we go to church in yet ANOTHER suburb (a couple min from one of the schools)......and the public transport system exists in Cape Town, but is not all that safe at the moment.......we drive around like looneys. One of our teens has his driver's license (must be 18 over here before elgible) and the other her learner's license, so maybe soon our kids will be driving US around! Here's hoping. One blessing is the son at univ is only 45 min drive away and often gets rides with friends to & from when he's home on weekends.Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18122656833028913453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31780157.post-37147194455687985722011-11-22T09:07:45.350-06:002011-11-22T09:07:45.350-06:00Becca -- that is one crazy, crazy schedule, says P...Becca -- that is one crazy, crazy schedule, says Peanut. So much driving around. Driving around wears him out, but I guess endurance is developed the more you do it.<br /><br />I love tea time with friends, and going for walks. we enjoy talk radio and the Christian music station, but I don't think Peanut notices them all that much.<br /><br />Rachael -- I love that you are reading the blog! I hope you are passing the news on to your Mom and family.Mama Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03534245701379707268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31780157.post-23063786402547901332011-11-22T03:28:41.956-06:002011-11-22T03:28:41.956-06:00Hi Peanut (or should I say Pumpkin),
My day is ju...Hi Peanut (or should I say Pumpkin),<br /><br />My day is just as tiring as yours, but not nearly as fun. Instead of rolling & pushing up, if I'm organised I fast walk & jog. In summer, I swim. I drive my teenager to school and sit in traffic listening to Christian music or Talk Radio. <br /><br />Like you, I bathe/shower, get dressed, and interact with my pet (labrador). I end up food shopping more often than I like. There's chores on days my maid isn't here and preparation for teaching, then teaching and driving daughter home from school. <br /><br />Then, food preparation, eating, perhaps answering a few emails, and maybe watching a taped TV series like "House" with my husband. <br /><br />I've given up chewing on toys for my "fun" and rather do things like pray with people or give out 100 peanut butter sandwiches & tea to unemployed people or help fund-raise for church ministries or school activities. I read as often as possible and have "tea times" with friends and if I'm really blessed, walk on the beach or in the forests/mountains. <br /><br />And sleep. Unlike you, I like daytime naps, but don't have time for them except maybe on a weekend....when I'm not driving daughter somewhere or fetching son from univ.<br /><br />Think the only real things you & I have in common are: eating, bathing, sleeping & time with family & pets!Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18122656833028913453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31780157.post-6159395686689175872011-11-20T20:53:10.924-06:002011-11-20T20:53:10.924-06:00Dear Peanut,

Your quilt is lovely, like a mosaic floor (ask your mommy to explain).Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10611612525377399552noreply@blogger.com
