What a great day! My first Moroccan student (7 years old) that told me today, "Miss, I really love you!" :) I was so touched....especially when a couple other boys heard him and chuckled and he just pushed them away and smiled up at me!! :) Kids....they make me smile every time!!!! The kids call all of us "Miss"....it is so funny....Miss this and Miss that.....hard to get them to call you by your real name....I have kind of given up....at least it sounds respectful and sweet!
Long day though and the last 20 minutes of the day we stand out in the hot, hot sun while we wait for the kids to be picked up. So, Marcia and I came home, dropped off our things and headed to the beach for a long walk. Well......we didn't think it would happen so soon, but I think we have officially gone off the deep end....we were both YELLING at some dogs at the beach! Maybe I'm not making this clear enough....two stray dogs (they are ALL over the place) tagged along with us the whole walk! Like they were pretending to belong to us!! Well, twice at opposite ends of our walk we ran into other stray dogs. The "other" dogs started barking very violently at "our" dogs....like they were on "their territory". So, the second time this happened, Marcia started yelling at the "other" dogs to leave "our" dogs alone.......it was hillarious! I knew what was really going on and after she was done yelling she admitted it....she was really yelling at her 7th grade students!! :) They had given her and every other middle school teacher a hard time today, just like every day.....she just needed to release a little of the tension. "Our" dogs followed us all the way to the car!
I finally connected with an old friend tonight on skype! It was wonderful to see you and Coco, Jane! Thanks for the call!! Sometimes it is hard to connect because of the connection and other times it is the time difference....soooo glad we got to chat tonight! :)
Life in Morocco is going well. Our ladies came to clean and cook today. They hadn't been here for two or more weeks. They made a very yummy chicken, apricot, almond, rice, cinnamon, cumin,.....dish for us for dinner!! Love those gals!
Blessings to all of you!
"Miss" :)
