Leslie got a job this week as a server or waitress at a barbeque restaurant located one block from our house. It is her first job other than babysitting. She has worked hard to learn how to give change properly and memorizing the menu. Had a church group stay 3 days at our church that came up from Oklahoma to help with the tornado in Joplin. They put up tents. That’s all for now. Getting quite warm – in the mid 90’s. Be blessed.

実家へ帰ったら、お料理レパートリーを増やしたいと思っていました。
実家生活になって数か月、今まで習ったもしくはチャレンジした品数を思いつく分だけ挙げてみた。
26品。
改めて数えると嬉しいね。
なかなか頑張っとるではないか。
オシャレな料理というより、煮物が多いけど（笑）
まぁ、まだまだ「味薄っ！」とか「アレ？忘れた…。」って感じやから、
モノにしていきたいね～。

It is a BAD HAIR DAY today！
We finally made it down the last two weeks before baby is due. We have about two weeks left although according to the baby books and websites, she can come anytime between now and then. Truthfully, I’m really nervous not only about the birthing process and the pain it brings, but also about having to raise a child. She’ll be so tiny and dependent on us. She’ll expect us to know what we are doing. I know there have been generations of people who’ve had and taken care of babies before us and many more who will do it after us, but that doesn’t take the scariness away. In the meantime I guess I should go read my more parenting books to prepare.
Tornado update
We have made it almost 2 weeks since the tornado. First week was fast and furious. People brought us donations and we made 4 trips to a church to deliver those and ours combined plus food. Our church organization brought a disaster relief check to the church in Joplin we lost so Steve escorted them over. The first Thurs. when Steve was over there, he had to take a search and rescue worker to the hospital because she had been ran over by a deer. Strange, but true. We also began cooking food for people to take to workers cleaning up. About 300-500meals each day on top of our evening meals. Been quite busy. Had some meat donated this week to help cook. Supposed to be a 2 hr. trip, but turned into 4 hrs. because the truck Steve borrowed had the battery die plus other complications. All worked out. Also helping organize other volunteers in clean up and getting a place ready for a blind man and his bed ridden wife to stay. There’s more, but I’ll have to stop for now or I won’t wake up for church. God bless.

昨夜は、雷の音が地響きとなって聞こえていました。
今日は雨。 涼しい風が吹いています。
ダウンタウンの木々も、埃を洗い流していました。
