The first week here was a blur. Reese was in school all week and I was busy sorting out our lives… including getting wheels, a heater, buying more groceries, etc. Setting up house anywhere takes a while and it sure has taken us the entire week to get organized. Meanwhile, Reese has been attending his TEFL school at TEIS in Somerset West. He goes on through the 17th of August before deciding which country he wants to go and teach in for the coming year. I am so proud of how brave he is about the whole thing, but why wouldn’t he, he has been raised in an international environment his whole life. And, he wants to follow in his mentor’s footsteps, middle son, Greg.
Reese is in a dilemma over his love life here. South Africa is full of beautiful young women and it appears there are two in his class…. one Afrikaans and one English South African. I’ll keep you posted as he figures out which one to date without blowing it with both. That will keep me entertained following his trials and tribulations!
Friday night Reese had plans so I was invited over to the Coxwells for a typical dinner party here in South Africa. It reminds me where we honed our skills as hosts while living here back 30 years ago. The long lost art of entertaining without having a movie or television was still in play, as was heated intellectual conversation about the economy and politics. There were two other couples there besides the Coxwells, and it was perfect. We enjoyed some wonderful South African wine and good company! That was definitely the highlight of my week!
