back to LaVida Mission

We made the trip up from Phoenix in under 7 hours yesterday evening.  We even made it to bed in a timely manner.
Winter temps made getting out of the warm covers a little more of a challenge this morning.  Also had another challenge... no running water.  They had left us buckets of water for flushing toilets and of course we always use jugs of water from the RO for drinking and cooking.  Guess who skipped bathing until the plumbing was fixed?!

The "Ark"

We delivered teaching tools from Starr and textbooks from the Tucson school, during LaVida School's morning recess.  Cynthia (principal) got rather excited when she saw some of the items coming through the door.
After checking in with the administrator and a short visit, I spent the afternoon in the "ark" warehouse, sorting pvc pipe fittings and adapters.  It was a bit chilly in there so I was swaddled in long johns, turtleneck, hoodie, down vest, hat, etc.
I came in about two hours ago to make and eat supper... Karl is still at large...hard telling when he'll come in for the night!  Someone has probably fed him, so hunger isn't driving him back here for supper.
