new look and camping

i decided to give my blog a new look. to me it seemed the black background was hard to look at...started making me see lines! and I just added my friends Jimmy and Stefanie (the nances) to the links section. visit their page. they have great sayings listed people say here in Ghana.

now for the camping title. last night was our lights out night and it is so hot inside our house. gifty came up with a great idea. the breeze was blowing and it was pretty cool outside, so we decided to 'camp' in our driveway. you remember moldy bed? well he's still hanging around outside leaned up against the wall with no where to go and with dry season here...it's not so moldy. so we got him down and dusted him off. we put a mattress on top and moved it out to where the breeze was blowing and slept outside. it was GREAT. lyle if you read this, you will be proud. no tent, no netting. just a hard mattress and the cool night air. we lit a mosquito coil and only once was i awoken by the annoying buzz of two mosquitos having a fight around my head. i didn't get one bite, and i had a pretty nice amount of sleep. i think we'll probably do that again! although i'm wondering for people who pass by if they were thinking..."is that a white ... girl ... sleeping outside?" YES!
