So a few weeks ago, Laura Anne and Emilie earned the clever badge. LA shared hers online but I can’t find where she posted it. And alas, I formatted the dern thing a little funny and when Emilie printed it, it looked like this… Om…whoops. She emailed me to thank me for her “clever plaque.” [...]

It was a quiet little Monday on this here frontier, as we gymed — I want that to be a verb, but it looks funny — planned, and started to do a little packing. Goodness gracious I am sentimental about some stuff and need to let it go! {Look! It’s me, happy when our stuff [...]

Hi guys and gals! Thanks so much for your prayers and encouragement! I heard from the Hubs this afternoon and his interview went swimmingly.

I’m from the USA, he’s from South Africa, we met in Scotland, he asked me to marry him in South Africa , our first born arrived on the scene in Edinburgh, and our second right here in SA { in 90 minutes or less !}. … Please pray that everything will go smoothly with his flights and getting to the consulate, that he’ll have all the documents he needs and be granted the visa without a run-around, and that he’ll be able to pick up his visa the next day and head back down to Cape Town.
