Rebecca and I went out for lunch the other day for our "Juicy Lucy date", which we've been planning for months. Juicy Lucy is a smoothie/sandwich shop that just opened in our town. Yes, the bustling metropolis of Harrismith has opened a new establishment! They have been announcing that it is "coming soon" for months and months, and Reba and I have been anticipating it eagerly. It was well worth the wait. It is by far the nicest place in our town right now; AND they are working on making it an internet hot-spot – can it get any better than that?! Reba and I were bursting with excitement, and laughing at ourselves, the whole time we were there. I can guarantee we will be there pretty often…

Life in Harrismith is SO much better now than it was 8 years ago when I first arrived! Smoothies, tortillas (occasionally), and Philadelphia cream cheese can make such a difference! (Not necessarily consumed together!) It's easy to find joy in the little things here in Africa.
