| Africa...home to family and friends |
Welcome, family and friends. I trust you've had a good week...mine's been very busy as I prepare for my annual African journey. INSPIRATION AVENUE declared its blog challenge theme to be "vacation time-" so appropriate! :) The photo above is of me (on vacation) with some of my adopted Ethiopian family... Buno (my friend) and Mimi, her daughter. We're sharing a yawn... I'm sooo looking forward to seeing them as well as the rest of my Kara tribal families- I have 2! I missed last summer (their winter) because I had back surgery, but I'm sooo ready to go NOW!! I leave this weekend and hope to be blogging from there. We'll see how that goes...
Today is Michael's and my 48th anniversary...48 years of mostly wedded bliss. I'm so grateful for this wonderful man with whom I've journeyed for all these years...thank you Michael...I love you!
SOARTFUL CHALLENGES, in the summer mode, was thinking about the ocean...

SUNDAY POSTCARD ART wanted artists to use SHAKESPEARE as a theme...the piece I did could also qualify for a SOARTFUL CHALLENGE response as it was inspired by Shakespeare's dramatic masterpiece, THE TEMPEST... the ocean...
Finally, Art and Sole's POSTCARD CHALLENGE 2012 took participants to the Land Down Under...Australia! No worries, mate!!

That's it for this week...must head back upstairs to TRY to get all my "stuff" into my soft-sided, reasonably-sized bag! Wish me luck...
I look forward to our next meeting... don't know WHAT you'll find... thanks for checking in. Please come back and see reports from Africa (hopefully...)
Big Hugs,
