My Aunt Susan took us out to dinner tonight. She is going to Cameroon in a few days with a Heifer International delegation and she wanted to chat up T-Bone about what life is like and what she should know, since he is from Cameroon. He gave her a ton of names, with notes next to them like "nightlife guy," "Chancellor of Jails" and "good lawyer." I hope she doesn't have to use them!
We gave her some senior vitamins for T-Bone's mom and some money so his mom can buy a new refrigerator (she sells food from a roadside stand but her fridge broke and she can't store ANYTHING - really cuts into her ability to do business). Susan will be in the town where T-Bone grew up, a seaside village called Limbe. T-Bone called his mom and told her to wait in the Botanical Garden until my aunt calls to arrange a time to meet. Can you imagine being so unscheduled that your to-do list consisted of sitting in a garden waiting for the phone to ring?
Susan, on the other hand, has a schedule so tight that she'll be flying from development project to development project with barely enough time to navigate the unpaved roads. So she may have to call and say, "I left some items at the hotel desk for you," but I hope they do have time to meet and snap a couple of photos. I can't wait to see her photos when she gets back!
