Friday, March 2 Adjusting to a new time zone – 7 hours ahead of my familiar zone – meant the sun was up when I got awake. I made a cup of coffee and sat on the arm of the sofa section next to the open window to see what was going on outside. Being […]

Saturday morning, March 17 – one day after our return from South Africa Blogging is a delight of my daily life – and on occasion I missed my laptop during the past seventeen days (February 28-March 16). Blogging is how I journal my thoughts, photos, and life. On occasion Kristen and I said, it would […]
We had an interesting flight from Cape Town to Hoedspruit Airport. We flew for an hour and a half over barren landscape. I can’t wait to show you the Hoedspruit Airport. The runway is long and winding – to chase the animals off of it. We saw a few monkeys – vervets. Phil and Kate […]
The vew outside our apartment in Muizenberg. Cape Town yesterday from the base of Table Mountain. It was too windy to go up the cable car. Notice the fires. It is dry and windy. We went to see African Penquins instead. I didn’t take any cell phone pictures of the penquins. You will have to wait […]

Tuesday Morning, February 20 I love the beauty of a foggy morning. I know it is not a nice thing to be driving in fog, but it’s pretty when looking at our surroundings through the mist. The trees were covered with droplets. Then I heard the familiar honking of Canada geese as they few over […]
Sunday Morning, February 18 It was a beautiful Sunday morning, and I knew that I had to take pictures if I wanted pictures of snow, as it was going to be a warm day. A tattered leaf blew across the snow while I was outside. Bird feeders are full of snow Azalea bush covered with […]

Wednesday, February 14 After breakfast I gave the boys the card and candy – from their parents – who were on a business trip to New Zealand. After they left for school, I divided the peanut butter cups into three equal baggies with their names on them – so they each received the same amount […]

Tuesday Evening, February 13 When Inge brought the March Highway News to our place, I asked Jared and Jesse to help her bring them in the garage. Can you guess who loaded Jesse’s arms with magazines? I think Jared would have tried giving him another bundle or two if I had allowed it. 🙂 Today […]
