Erika's Guestbook

AWESOME!
I am so jealous. When are we going on our next adventure? Let's call your sugar daddy:)! hahahahahahahahahahaha

I'll oblige ...
Hey, to help overcome some of the things that you miss in Benin I'd wanted to let you know that I can certainly take a nap at the drop of a hat. So, maybe I'll head out to the Kraus homestead and take a siesta on the couch. Oh and I can also get offended every once in awhile if that helps too. Let me know :) It's good to have you back in the neighborhood that is NE Kansas. I was a little curious to know what Mathurin thought of the Kansas landscape. Did he see much prairie land or mostly the somewhat hilly area here around where we live? I guess you don't have to go very far to see it starting to open up ... even toward Melvern is opens up more. I thought I saw in a couple pictures some flat land there in Benin area. So, was this similar for him in some ways? Josh

I'm going to miss your pictures!!

Tell Miminon that I think her orange dress looks really pretty on her.

Truly Benninese
Hi Erika, Good luck with the fund raising, we donated your christmas present!! You are truly becoming soooo Benninese I can hardly tell wich one is you in the pictures!! Love you much, Dad.

You have made a difference!
See Erika, you have made a difference!! How ever small, we can only hope the other villages near by will catch the spirit and modernize. Great job. Dad.

Awesome!
Thats great Erika! I'm glad the trash pick up is starting to catch on! It sounds like you guys are really doing a lot of good for your town. You might even make a very 'progressive' town its citizens can be proud of! Yea to Mathurin for planting trees and shrubs in his school yard! Go Athieme!!!

Falling Leaves vrs. Ice Storm
We miss you!! Bob just ordered the MEAT for Christmas at Grandma's. A Midwest Ice/Winter Storm is settling in for the night/days???. Glad we have a small generator!!!! Love, Aunt Donna

Dork!
You are a dork!!! Go live with the sisters! What are you doing staying in that house??? Now that you didn't get any sleep last night, you'll be too tired to tie yourself to you rafters and avoid the flood water. If it rises too high, will the piroque come pick you up inside the house?

Tina the nose picker
Is Tina picking her nose in that last one?! It wouldn't surprise me as we all know what a nose picker she is :-)

where are the hippos?
Where are these hippopotami? musses? see, I can't spell either, that you speak of? I reckon you don't get too close to a hippo, do you?

Wish I were there
I visited for only two weeks and know full well how good of friends you have and how the simple life such as theirs can be so alluring. We had so much fun visiting the villages and meeting your friends. I wish we could come back for Christmas 07 only this time take the camera to midnight mass!
