Freedom Day
July 9, 2007
Dear friends,
As you celebrated 4th of July, we celebrated Freedom Day on the 6th of July. It has been 43 years since we gained independence from England and it's always a big day of celebration with a soccer match being the highlight. Unfortunately, right now we are experiencing a breakdown in our democratic process with Parliament shutting down twice in the last two weeks because of huge disagreements. The budget is only able to operate until July 31, so we are hoping that things can be resolved before then or everything will shut down.
The boys are doing well and continue to grow at a wonderful pace. Hamilton (the one who wants to be president) was sick last week and stayed home with us. I helped him with math and reading, and it was a delight to be with him full-time. He is so intelligent and eager to learn about new things.
Hope all friends in the USA are enjoying the summer sun and fun! We are experiencing cold temps and even rain (during the "dry" season).
Love,
Rosemary
