Just Another Morning

I slept at Gamasara last night, but caught a ride back to town at 6:00 am, when William drove the kids to school. We dropped the first group of at Nyandoto Secondary and the second group off at St. Jude's Primary. All was going well until the clutch went out on the truck. I was thankful we were only about 1/2 mile from Nkende Secondary and also that I had a cell phone to call for a pikipiki for our 2 remaining primary students. I left William with the truck and started walking with the rest of the kids. Just as the secondary students turned to go down the road to school, we saw Kennedy, our favorite pikipiki driver. I paid him to take Grace and Chuchu to school and started walking to town. When another pikipiki driver offered me a ride, I took him up on it. Kate was home when I got there, but Nate was on his way to meet William on another pikipiki. Kate called Kennedy, who took her to meet Nate. Eventually, everybody got where they needed to go. Nate hired a taxi to take the workers, William, and him to Gamasara; and the truck got to the shop to be repaired. I, being a bit older and less patient than the others, took 2 Aspirin and went back to bed!
