Francois invited us to join him and some friends at Cool Runnings to celebrate his birthday. This worked out very well, because Grace has been wanting to take Donné since we last went, and she definitely wanted to go before we moved.

When we were there we were waiting for someone to arrive and Grace asked who we were waiting for. I said, “We’re waiting for Pieter, he’s a friend from university.” She says, “Do you remember his name?” and I thought she had just missed me saying it. “His name is Pieter, Grace.” She thinks about this for a moment and says, “That’s a strange name for a man – it’s the same as a food.” Oh Gracie you sweet and funny girl, his name is Pieter, not Pita.

We all had a good time, and Grace got to have her ride with Donné. Eli even had a turn to go and quite enjoyed his ride too. I knew he was going to say it, but he said it sooner than I expected, shortly before we stopped….”More!”
