keeping up w/ the kirkendall's: Casa nuestra!

So when the group left after their week here Gary, Donna, Daniel & I setteled into our new house! :) We are staying right beside the Baptist Hospital in Guaimaca. We met with Sandy Cheves before we came down here and worked out a house for us to rent and it is fabulous, way beyond our expecitations!! We have full access to anything on the Hospital grounds, a key to the gate and were told to just make ourselves at home!
Gary & Donna stayed in Honduras another week to help us get the house is working condition! I can't imagine how we would have managed without them!! In the very first day we accomplished so much! Over the span of a week we... bought appliances (refigerator, stove, pots and pans..etc), beds, fans, put screens on windows, hung hammocks, Daniel and Gary bought wood to make shelves for the kitchen and closet, then organized the kitchen and closet, Donna sanded and stained our table we had made, bought 3 widow-makers for hot water in the shower, third one's a charm ;) we bought fabric for curtains, found a lawn maintance guy; takes him about 2 hours cutting the entire yard w/ a machete, and we borrowed 2 dresser drawers, 2 mirrors, 2 chairs, a microwave and a little desk from our friends Sandy & JoAnn! Everything fell perfectly into place, and this "little" casa feels so much like home you wouldn't believe it!
