#3 – Settling

June 20, 2019 by Alison Staab Leave a Comment

I spent one whole day stumbling and tripping over my suitcases until this afternoon I couldn’t bear it any longer and slowly got most things put away.  I’m sure there will be much rearranging during the summer and I eventually won’t feel so inundated with “stuff” as I find homes for the many things I […]

#2 – Adjusting

June 16, 2019 by Alison Staab Leave a Comment

I’ve been here 2 ½ days, this being Saturday night in California and Sunday morning here.  I am still staying at Fr. Kiriti’s house in Naivasha, although he is in Nakuru, attending to his masses, probably back later today.  Toleo and Sarah were fetched by a friend, Espedita this morning, for mass, but I stayed […]

#1 2019 – Off One More Time

June 15, 2019 by Alison Staab Leave a Comment

We are heading north, over the pole to Amsterdam, then on to Nairobi.  For the first time in 15 trips, I’m sitting with someone interesting. She lives in Berkeley, probably the age of my kids and heads a non-profit supporting environmental groups, both domestic and international.  We’ve exchanged information, each acknowledging the importance of the […]

# 21 Two Reunions, a Big Day for Tuitioning and Being Dear Abbey,

August 15, 2018 by Maya McAuliffe Leave a Comment

August 13, 2018 I hardly know where to begin!  Saturday was the reunion of all the beneficiaries of Empower the World (ETW).  There have been over 200 by my rough count, but a turn-up of 55 wasn’t bad.  They are scattered about the country, some out of country, some still in school, with exams and of course some […]

# 20 Tuitioning Begins

August 15, 2018 by Maya McAuliffe Leave a Comment

August 7, 2018 You may have noticed that I’ve not written much of late.  It seems to me that I’ve been very busy, but still nothing much to write about.  However now tuitioning (free math classes) has begun, with all the attendant need for organizing. Every year it’s the same thought (worry)—“Will they come?”  I think of the […]

# 19 A Mini Vacation in Nakuru

August 15, 2018 by Maya McAuliffe Leave a Comment

July 31, 2018 Yesterday I hopped a ride with Lydia to Nakuru, where I am visiting Fr. Kiriti.  I arrived Java House 10:30, and worked a Sudoku until he arrived at noon.  I’d asked my friend, Agnes, where I could buy yarn.  Evidently no knitters in Naivasha—I searched all the markets. So, after a so-so salad, we went […]

#18 Saturday

August 15, 2018 by Maya McAuliffe Leave a Comment

July 28, 2018 I thought it was going to be a quiet day of doing nothing. NOT!! As I sat eating my daily dose of bran cereal with cranberries and walnuts (courtesy of T. Joe’s), Rafael knocks on my door.  He did that yesterday too, and I suddenly realized he was stopping by to be sure […]

# 17 Alone for Awhile

July 29, 2018 by Maya McAuliffe Leave a Comment

July 26, 2018 My summer visit is more than ½ gone!  ACH!  Where did it go?  It always feels like this—like I’ve just arrived and suddenly I’m winging my way back.  Today Hillary and I took Julie to Nairobi, where she’s spending the night in a very posh hotel.  In the lobby we are all […]

# 16 Catching Up

July 22, 2018 by Maya McAuliffe Leave a Comment

July 22, 2018 I think I haven’t posted for more than a week—not because I had nothing to report.  Quite the opposite, I’ve been so busy I’ve had no time (or sometimes no energy) to write.  This will be a short synopsis.  I can’t remember everything. Last Friday my 3rd visitor arrived.  Julie Schatz is […]

# 15 We Celebrate Hillary’s Birthday

July 15, 2018 by Maya McAuliffe Leave a Comment

July 13, 2018 Friday Yesterday Hillary drove us to the Maasai Market for my annual junket to buy treasures for our craft shows.  Mary and Kathleen were quite overwhelmed, as I was by the first few times I went.  The hawkers are very aggressive, in 1 of 2 ways.  Either they try to overwhelm one […]
