Here is a little photo tour of our current residence on Reaching a Generation's Midrand property. It is were Jacques and family lived before they established the farm and the Lodge. The house is a funny mix between a work space, living space, and hotel. It's a nice property, it kind of feels like being in the country right next to the city, which we like. Sometimes it's a bit unsettled with people coming in and out, but this week and next we have it all to ourselves, which is sooo nice! Our bedroom and workspace are upstairs (pics below), and we are usually downstairs only for kitchen use and eating, but sometimes we sit down there.
Alrighty, enjoy!
The house is on the left. (later there are pics looking out from those upstairs windows)
The garage and Tommy's flat are on the right.

Front door on the left, kitchen door on the right behind the car.
The warehouse is in the background on the left, where all of the OneHope books are stored.
The big window upstairs is one of our bedroom windows.
Looking into our room. That's the window I mentioned.
It's a very nice, warmly lit room, with good windows. We like it.
There's a good amount of closet space on the side there.
Our artsy bookshelf again!

And here is our work space. Nice natural lighting.
New desks just arrived, so it will look a little different soon.
The wall on the left is the wall with the closets in our bedroom.
This is one of those front windows.
You can see a little play set out there, and on the right side you can see another house on the property which is currently being rented out, but they are soon going to turn it into a Bed & Breakfast.
The other window. You can see one of our neighbor's houses in the distance.
The little side window by Jon's desk looking over the driveway and the entrance to Tommy's flat.
My desk on the side, our bedroom door to the right, the bathroom door beyond that, the little "bridge" leads to a large room for guests, and of course the stairs on the left.
A little sitting room area. We don't use it much, but when there are other people around we spend a little more time down there.
There are two little bedrooms to the left, and the door to the kitchen on the right.
Conference/dining table in the front room.
"Receptionist" desk... though there is no receptionist. heheh
The space is still undergoing development as new furniture arrives ect.
Kitchen doorway
So glad to have a real kitchen to cook in.
That's the washing machine sticking out from the country, btw. No dryer right now, we use the line.
They got a microwave! yay!
(That's the security door in the foreground on the left, all doors and windows are barred because break-ins are fairly common anywhere around Joburg area)

Around the corner from the kitchen door going out behind the house.
Looks pretty in the light.

So, there you go! This is where we are living till we come home for the holidays (yay!!!), and we will return here in January till probably March/April when we are planning to relocate to Ghana for about 3 months. After that, not sure... Maybe back here. We shall see!
I have more pictures, but I'll save that for another post.
Also, eventually I'll get pictures of the people we're spending time with and working with. It just feels a little awkward to just randomly start taking picture of people working and what not. ~shrug~ I guess I just need to get over it. =)
I'll post again soon.
Love you all!
