I invited Eugene and Dumevi out for a birthday lunch after we went shopping today and they accepted. When Eugene got in the car and we were waiting for the other two, I told him he should invite someone else - like a girl. He immediately called and arranged to pick her up.
We dropped Sister Penner off to her apartment (she didn't want to go) and picked up Irene. Eugene said she was his wife! I didn't even know he was married. Evidently she works a long ways away and stays in two homes, one here and one in an unpronounceable name. I think that is a hard way to have a marriage but it is working for them. She is a midwife and he is a nurse. Both work in hospitals but different kinds.
We ended up at Moka's because the other place we went were not open until noon. I guess we were too efficient in our grocery shopping. It was a very lovely lunch. I learned more about Ghanaian culture and more about Irene and Eugene. Life is good.
