Thursday, August 11 (Randburg, Johannesburg)

 We applied for a rental house today, a four-bedroom, three bathroom house with a pool (very important to the youngers), a decent sized backyard, and a big kitchen for Mom.  The owner is very nice, as is the realtor we're working with.  The property contains lots of fruit trees: avo pears (avocados), peaches, grapes, pecanuts (pecans, pronounced picanuts), and some others that I have forgotten.  Another bonus: the dining room (although, just the dining room) has under-floor heating.  Aka in-floor heating.
