Nothing is going to happen today that you and I can't handle, Together. Tuesday, April 19, 2011. Another post to try and keep up the frequency of writing this year.

And they didn't so let's build on that and see what happens! For those who gave me some specific advice before I came out here, I am working on it and once I get my feet on ...

But anyway, we were able to talk about what's been going on since we left the country that had been home for 12 months (we even flew home on the same day/different planes on 29th Dec 2010). Friends and family quickly tire of kenya stories and photos of ragged but smiling children they can't tell the difference between,. Pictures are a mixture of my own and google sourced, thanks to everyone involved! With th...

Nothing is going to happen today that you and I can't handle, Together. Wednesday, January 27, 2010. I’m sorry that I’ve not written sooner.

It looks like I can only email them from here and that takes long enough. Thursday: I spent the morning with my sister Memo doing some jobs like taking the maize off the cob...
