My young friend, Alvin has graduated today with his Bachelor in Engineering. He is hoping to do his Master's Degree in approximately one year but first he needs a job and to save some money.

I met Alvin a few years ago when the choir he is in (Kenyan Boys Choir) were in the city.
Saturday they will have a big luncheon with family and friends to celebrate this great achievement.

My elderly "grandma" is still in hospital. She has been back and forth between the Intensive Care Unit and the private ward at the mission hospital where she lives. She has pneumonia which she contracted while in hospital being treated for a bacterial infection.
She is a strong woman but she is very old and it is hard to recover.
I continue to pray for her recovery.

In sad news, a friend's uncle, Kipkoness has succumbed to heart problems and passed on.
I met him on my very first trip to Kenya. I am sorry I will not have a chance to meet him again when I return next to Kenya.

I'm keeping very busy getting parcels and cards out in the mail in preparation for Christmas. Next up will be wrapping the presents for family members. I also had to go to the eye specialist for laser surgery this week. Some of you remember I had cataract surgery but scar tissue grew rapidly due to healthy eyes and needs to be removed. One eye was done yesterday. The other will be done in a month.
I'm breaking up all the errands with one of the things I like best, the opera. I have several performances to attend. I wrote about one of them a few days ago.
I said I would be reporting on a special event. That will be posted in a day or two.
Thanks for joining me here.
I'll be sure to visit you if you let me know you were here.

Awesome pics.
Love your pictures. Especially the last one with the lit up cross on the steeple.
Love your photos and well done Alvin, quite an achievement. Keep well Penny, Diane
Lovely blue skies - and good news about your friend graduating!
Great fotos. Hope the laser surgery corrects your eye problem. Already wrapping Christmas presents... I haven't even begun to shop. I'm usually much farther along by now. Hope you have a great weekend.
Well done the boys and a great shot of them. Have a lovely weekend.
Hello, I enjoyed your photos and your weather seems to be similar to ours here this week. It looks like you have a couple of hawks soaring in the sky, cool capture! Congrats to your young friend on his graduation. I will say a prayer for your grandma. I have not begun to think about Christmas.
Thank you so much for linking up and for your nice comment and visit. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend.
Lots of good news here -- Congratulations to Alvin and to you for getting the head start on the holidays. I keep saying I need to do that. So far, no go!
Best of luck with the surgery, Penny. I know it will be a relief to have it all done.
Congratulations on Alvin’s graduation. It must be a sense of accomplishment. Nice to know he has a plan for future. Wish no problem after the laser treatment for the secondary cataract.

It is so satisfying to see young people growing up, moving on. And, that brick road he is standing on is a great engineering feat. Herringbone pattern. Lovely.
The church photo with the cross is very nice! Thanks for telling so much personal things. Praying for your elderly "grandma".
Congratulations to Alvin and Nathan! Loved the photos, especially the one with the light shining so brightly on the church's cross!
Nice photos! I really like the one with the cross and the mountain in the background. Very nice composition.
Good luck to your friend Alvin. Hope he can find work so he can continue on to get his Master's Degree.
Have a wonderful rest of the weekend.
Congrats to the graduates and lovely blog sky shot with soaring bird ~

A degree is an achievement to be celebrated! Our oldest will graduate in the spring and we are so proud. Where did those four years go?
You are one busy lady; I also try to mix in fun with tasks - makes it easier to get through the work, right?
Thanks for visiting my blog!
Well done Alvin and I hope he finds a job soon.
Brilliant photos, congrats to Alvin, he truly deserved a degree.
what an exciting time for your special graduate!! wrapping and mailing for christmas, wow, you sure are ahead of the game. i have shopped and knitted some gifts but am certainly way behind you!!!
So sorry to hear about your eyes. I am glad you were able to get it taken care of.
Thanks for your blog visit! And good luck with those pesky Christmas cards.
Congrats to Alvin and Nathan on their graduation! Hope your eye is back to normal. A busy time for you preparing gifts!
Are the temperatures in Celius ?? Then it is indeed very hot !! I had cateracte surgery 3 weeks ago and it was so easy ! One eye done, a week later the other and imagine even to the surprise of the doctor I don't need glasses anymore ! The first time in 30 years I am without glasses that's strange. And I didn't even ask for a special operation.
it seem to be a very fine weather :)
