The Great Question

It seems to me that the no matter who I talk to or where I go in FFC the first question is always the same.  No, it is not "How are you doing?", or even "Eating finished?" which means did you eat already, which is a standard question here for some reason.  Do not get me wrong these question are usually asked, everyday for that matter, but the all consuming question on everyone's lips is, "Where is Katie?".  I am glad to be of service to others, but a sign post could do this job.  Anyway, just in case you are asking the same question, here are some hints to where you might find her. 
You might try looking for her in the infirmary, talking, laughing, and trying to help those that are suffering. With some she even has been helping with a few herbs, but we do not have enough herbs to do very much.
Or maybe some little whippersnapper is occupying Katie's time, and that could happen anywhere.
Again, good luck finding her if she is planting trees of flowers because then she does not stop in one place.  Do you not think these young coconut trees are beautiful. 
If she is busy with administrative or staff problem, which does not happen infrequently, then go to the office. She gets stuck there for hours sometimes. 
When you pick up trash one day a go back the next you are sure to find trash there again.  Not only Katie is kept busy cleaning up the place, and so it is still difficult to find her sometimes.
Just maybe she is at her little house making some wholesome raw goodies, like banana ice cream.  At these times I am the one looking for her!
Then every so often we find her caring for some poor creature.  In this instance some of the small boys brought Katie a newly born kitten, which we called Olive.  Happily, it was successfully reunited with its forlorn mother a couple days later.
More often than not, she is helping some misguided boy with his problems. They show up at any hour, but right about bed time is a favorite time for them to come.  Katie loves helping them.  I do not mind helping but the only help they want from me is to tell them where Katie is. 
Again her herbs are a great pastime.  The plants we bought have grown, and stevia still makes a wonderful treat. While doing this she is usually at the new building, where we keep most of our plants, and where we are landscaping and making gardens.

The moral of the story turns out to be do not ask me where Katie is because half the time I am looking for her myself!  Or how about; if you work hard doing what you are supposed to be doing then really do lose yourself...and everyone else loses you too.

This is David once more, your Post Host.  Work hard and wait because you never know when I will post again.
