Delivery!

Don't you just love getting mail!

My sweet Lyndsey, thank you sooooo so much for the

5 boxes of 72 pencils you sent!

Bryan and I will put them to good use around here on our homework. :)

In all seriousness, thank you so much to all of you who have given to this project.

From donating pencils and giving money, to helping with the publicity by reposting my posts on your blog or telling a friend, I truly can't put into words how much you will change the lives of so many Kenyan children.

You are wonderful people who I am so grateful to know.

The pencil count is now up to 1,860, and my sis committed to another 1,000!!

That leaves 2,000 pencils to be collected by July 20th.

WE CAN DO IT!

This doesn't relate to Africa in any way, but I have to do a simple tribute to the

love of my life...Kernel.

You thought this was going to be a cheesy post about Bryan didn't you!

Kern passed away yesterday, and I can't tell you how much we miss him.

Thanks to everyone who made his short year with us so happy, yes that includes the many of you out there who forgave him for peeing on your floor.

Back with Africa stuff soon!

(Notice on the left that the money for sharpeners increased!! Thanks Ellie!)
