To Give, To Love, To Smile

June 30, 2010 Prayers in Poetry & Prose

A comment someone made the other day made me think you guys might like to hear a little more about what it’s like to live life here in SA, at least for the Collie family. The thought reminds me of the moment in the movie Amelie when Amelie decides to walk the blind man quickly [...]

June 29, 2010 South Africa

While waiting for Uncle Russ and Erin to arrive, we enjoyed the excitement of World Cup Fever at Cape Town airport. And we sure did document it for you to enjoy it, too! Happy Tuesday!

We don’t have tickets to the games, but perhaps I’ll take some pictures of the “fever” when we’re showing my brother and his girlfriend around — they get here Friday! Whoo-hoo! Anywho, not long after HH, the Bear and I [...]

Staying the Course or Fweaking Out

June 21, 2010 South Africa

At the beginning of this year, Hero Hubs and I looked our financial situation square in the face, and had no idea how we were going to make it. We were still figuring out the cost of living in South Africa and the amount of income committed to us by our monthly partners did not [...]

Happy Father’s Day, Dad!

June 20, 2010 Stories

I‘m pretty sure my Dad reads my blog more than anyone else. I think he’s probably my biggest fan. Every time we speak on the phone he already knows what’s going on before I tell him. I wish you all could meet him, because he’s a true Southern good ol’ boy. He has a gruff and [...]
