The first was a Texas Party. Here is Ron welcoming guests, getting them to sign in, and giving them name tags. Notice the bandannas hanging from the ceiling. The word "bandanna" was a new word for our friends.
Sharron is showing everyone the location of Texas.
Here is Sharron teaching the song "The Eyes of Texas". Notice her sheriff's badge!
Everyone is really paying attention to Sharron!
The final party on the Sunday afternoon before we left Dakar was a Baseball Party. A large number of our readers attended. It made us feel good that they all wanted to see us one last time! In the first photo Jane is teaching the words to "Take Me Out to the Ballgame". It was fun to hear all of the people singing the song with their African accents!
I started not to put the next photos in because everyone looks so serious! They really did all have fun, but in these photos they are concentrating on the interesting information that Sharron and Jane were sharing with them about baseball. Later several told us, "Now we know so much about American baseball!" They were really happy to know how the game is played and about the terminology. When we divided up the group and began playing different party games, and when we were serving refreshments, we were all so busy that we did not have time to take pictures!
Some of our readers had already left when we took this final photo. Faith is on the left side and Arnold is on the right side. We all really grew to love these people!
