Grinding maize/corn with Midiam
It's really hard actually. It's all in the wrist and back and arms and legs! I still need some practice before I get it together. But the ladies are always patient when teaching me.

Love these kids! Even baby Paul who is so NOT happy :)
Mudding the outside of the house is complete. So next step is the floors! Elizabeth takes a mixture of fine black dirt, sand, and water to make a very wet mixture. Then it is placed on the floor by hand. Next, take a small marble stone usually the size of an egg to smooth out the floor, by hand! This is a job for the ladies and it is hard hard work!! Takes a long time and lot of sweat too. It was a nice time with Elizabeth :) Picture taken by her husband, John.
