Small Blessings

Today has been full of lots of different things. Gihan (OMT Production Manager) and I met with a UK buyer this morning to further search for more printed yardage. It was a very productive meeting. Lots of great prints! Keep an eye out for One Mango Tree's Spring 2012! I'm really excited about purchasing fabric and beginning the design process.

The Kampala based OMT tailors met this afternoon for a general meeting to discuss Fall samples. There were only 6 present, so it was a nice contrast from Gulu where I am learning 20+ names/faces. I got the chance to talk to several of the ladies one on one which is always a great way to begin a working relationship. They all seem very excited to work.

So apparently it's a big thing to watch WWE. You know, from the 80's-90's. Hulk-a-mania! I saw on the news that the WWE is going to be in Cape Town July 6th and 7th. SHAME, I won't be there for it! I think it's all absolutely hilarious. It's a really funny dynamic being an American guest in the home of three Sri Lankans in the capital of Uganda. I'm so completely grateful for their hospitality and welcoming me into their lives and home (and I'm even appreciative of the distraction of ridiculous wrestling reruns.) Hoping to be Gulu bound early next week.

Tonight was just what the doctor ordered: Grocery shopping and pizza dinner. It was wonderful. Thank you Lord for little blessings throughout today that make adjusting to life here a bit easier.
