... thought we may as well spend it. Also, visiting Africa is on our "bucket list". Why? Partly, it is the mystique and curiosity of experiencing the local culture, the danger and exhilaration of being close to the wildlife, and the beauty and diversity of both the people and the landscape is what attracts us to this continent. To quote part of the song "Africa" by Toto, "I bless the rains down in ...

... that long but somehow between then and now, I have accumulated. Luckily, I've awoken from my stupor and can pare down with purpose. If I were to trace it back, I'd say that this type of thinking originated from my Dads' mantra "Don't throw that out! You may need it one day." With all due respect, it was my very dear old junk collecting father instilled this "need to accumulate...just in case" into me from a very young age. I guess it ...

For some reason, I would love to visit Chernobyl but only time will tell. Once in Kiev, I figure out I would be approximately 1,500 km away from Frankfurt. I will then head down towards Odessa (near the black sea ...

Well we had a 5 night stay in Edmonton which gave us plenty of time to meet people and do things around town. We stayed in the Old Strathcona district about 5 mins from downdown. The Hostel was quite big and had an activity on every night which we tried to participate in just to get to know some more people-which we did!!

... Anyway, I always thought I should have been a weather person with how passionate I am. But after watching Twister and some other storm chaser movies, I realized that it probably would be a little too stressful for someone like me. But I am still the kind of person who skips the movie to stay in the theater parking lot to watch a good thunderboomer. After all, you ...

Especially since when I asked her if it was real seafood...she answered with a solemn ...

... realized just how much I had missed her. I chattered on about what was new as she listened attentively perched on the edge of my bath. Gathering bubbles up in her paw and tasting them as I washed my hair. I explained to her that we would be moving soon and though her roaming space would be smaller, we would be higher. I know she will like that. Today I am grateful for patience.
