IT's a busy weekend here. After Henry's cricket, we attended a braai at the manse yesterday evening. The food and the visiting was great. This morning was the market at Katy's school. I managed to not burn any of the boerries during my one hour shift at the bbq barrel. And I only lost one as it rolled off the side. There was all sorts of booths, displays and fundraisers for Rustenburg as this is their largest fund raiser of the year. Many families attended. TOnight we are off to the Baxter theater for a production of Mozart's Magic FLute done without an orchestra, only accompanied by a marimba and tribal drums. It got five stars from the Cape Argus reviewer, so we'll see how it goes. The weather has been fantastic and the kids have been swimming each day.

I've posted some pictures from my half week in Sun City as well as from Katy's field trip in Zandvlei.
We are very excited to have Christine travel here for Wednesday and stay with us for a couple of weeks. I'm sure she is too.

Tech Ed at Sun City is going well. The keynote kicjed off the event last night with some infomercials on Microsoft product. The party afterwards was immense. Sun City is different with 2000 technical people roaming around. I'm staying at the Palace here which is the only hotel that was available. It is quite something, I'll take some pictures and post them when I get back. I've met some great people from Cape Town as well.
And the Boks are the world rugby champions!
