Money Money

We only think of money when we want to use it or want to count it.  Well  today went to the bank and put in my debit card only to receive notice that it was invalid.  Recently had my credit card cancelled and now my debit card.  Fortunately Jeanne took care of the former but now she has another problem and so do I as I am in Dundee with R100 borrowed from the lady at the book exchange.  The Good Part of this is that when I tell my sad tale the person has offered to loan me money.  People who know me only as a customer.!!! I think that is extraordinary.  I was prepared to talk about my flying trip to Durban last week with the Sisters.  The Jacaranda trees are in full bloom here in this spring.  One portion of the road was lined with these mature trees all in bloom for miles.  The blooms are a lovely blue and has a sweet odor. It seems every tree and bush here flowers.  The weather is variable reminding me of the midwest. "Just wait 5 minutes and it will change"  which it does everyday  one day 100 degrees  and the next 60.
