Thank you for your time. And now back to your regularly scheduled program.



That being said, Last night a lady came up to the lab to check her e-mail. She didn't want to walk back back alone so I walked her to the guest house and picked up a couple of things I had left and walked to my house. (I should draw you guys a map, so that you will know where everything is.) I was greeted by my two night time friends. I have a gecko and a cockroach living in my bathroom. And Sunday morning I found a cockroach in my clothes. I watched part of "Touched by and Angle" with the kids. At 9 I went to bed.

This morning I woke up at 5:30 again. The kids didn't sing a whole lot this morning. It rained a Texas rain this morning; a hard, loud, short rain. I went down to breakfast, it was omelets. After breakfast I went up to the lab.

We were supposed to start class at 9, but no one showed up. Daddy got pretty frustrated, since we came here to teach the teachers but they didn't care.

Insert: While we were waiting I was going to test some of the CD drives and I needed a power supply. We had brought a power supply so I was going to use that. I plugged everything in and was plugging the power cord into the power supply box and it exploded! Well it *Popped* and a spark came out. It scared me half to death. Apparently it was set to 110.

They finally showed up at 10. Daddy talked for a little bit but we just wanted to show them what games would be good for their classes. We went around to all the people and asked them what classes they taught and what grade, and then showed them the appropriate games. A couple of the teachers glanced at the game we showed them and then googled, and checked e-mail. The ones that did this were from the first class. That was a bit discouraging. But one teacher was so glad the games were there that he wanted a copy of one to put on his laptop so he could test it out and learn about it.

After class we went to lunch. It was spaghetti, but the sauce was different. A brown, meat and carrot sauce. Between daddy and me we eat about every thing. One of the Preston Crest people gave me stickers to give out to the kids. I gave out a few on the way to the lab. I might go out later today and hand out stickers and see if anyone is playing basketball.

No I did not get to play a game of basketball. I think they might play some this afternoon. I just have to remember to go check. Being in the lab all day, the day kind of gets away from me. Thanks for reading Uncle Rusty. Tell every one hi for me.

Thanks so much Heather! Yes I'm having a great time. The kids are so fun.

Well you never know... I might just be stuck here. Thanks Ashley. Yea, I am so looking forward to talking to you about it, and hearing about your summer too. =] Well yes I know. 6:30 is not happy, but I normally wake up at 5:30 to the kids singing. So sleeping in that extra hour is gladly welcomed. If I could I would sleep till 7:30 here too, but the kids are too loud.

Ayrea,

First of all, drink some more water. Second, thanks for including something kind of gross in a blog entry. I hear that people really like to read about gross stuff (at least I do).

Was there much garbage at the beach? Have there been any snake sightings? machete accidents?

-Ray

Yes, I agree wih Ray. I was starting to think you were on a pleasure cruise. The cockroach and gecko reference cleared things up. One question,though: did the gecko try to sell you car insurance?
