Ali came to Pompanuck Farm to bring the soccer team here to meet some refugee kids from Rochester. They are also from Asia. Earlier in the Fall, we came to Pompanuck with the carver Maulidi Diodone Majaliwa.

He also wanted to bring some wood back for Maulidi, the carver whose work Maria and I are selling on our blogs.

He picked out some wood he liked – white birch, and Scott and his farm maintenance person Wally chopped a tree down Ali loaded up his van with four big logs to bring back to Albany, so Maulidi can do some more carving.

I plan on meeting Maulidi in Albany next week, he has some good wood to work with.

Note: I have been using the wrong spelling for Maulidi’s name, it is not Mawulidi but Maulidi. He misspelled his name on a piece of paper he gave me, and since he has no computer (I plan to fix that) he didn’t see the misspelling.

I just happened to ask RISSE for the right spelling of his name, just a feeling.

His name is Maulidi Diodone Majaliwa. Sorry for that.
