Lovely! I especially like the ideas for recycling. All is well here; many are not happy with election results, but many others are. For those who are not, their wait is four years instead of thirty! hugs, Marita
ReplyDeleteThanks, Marita. Great to hear from you. We understand that there is a run-off, but both choices are grim. Four years a long time to wait.
DeleteI can't help laughing when I saw the picture of your best friends. Poor Peter! He got second placed;-).
ReplyDeleteHa ha! OK, it's a tie!
ReplyDeleteLove your pictures - especially "baby house pet" and view from the house. It looks very lush there with a great banana crop about ready. Have a safe trip to Calgary. DJ
ReplyDeleteThanks, DJ.
DeleteThis post makes me miss you guys so much, and Zanzibar! I'm so happy to know that your house pets are still hanging around, helping with the mosquitoes. Is it weird that I miss reading in the dark in your living room?!?
ReplyDeleteWe really miss you, too, Care. People still ask about you: Juma and "Dr. Vuai", the taxi drivers; the vegetable man in the village; Khamis, the bicycle man, to name a few.
