We have enjoyed a few peaceful days in the Knysna area with Goo-Goo and Gammy, and we’ve been taking a stroll down memory lane at the same time. It put a smile on our faces to realise that this has become the one and only destination where we’ve spent some holiday time with all of [...]

The Hubs’ folks lost a dear friend on Wednesday. We’ve made a spur-of-the-moment decision to travel down to the coast with them so that they can attend the funeral. They’ve found holiday accommodation near Knysna (pronounced Neyes-nuh — as in that first syllable rhymes with “eyes”) where we’ll enjoy one last holiday together before we [...]

{This post is continuing from Join Me in the Bushveld (part one) right here.} We enjoyed a scrumptious brunch back in our holiday accommodation, keeping an eye on a mischievous monkey {who may or may not have stolen Blake’s dummy} keen to hop up onto the balcony and join our feast if no one was [...]

The Southern Cross and her companions are still twinkling around a sliver of a moon as we load up the car for our final trip into the park. We’ve spent two days in the Kruger already and seen game aplenty, but on this last day we’ve decided to race daylight and arrive in time to [...]

Running Home

One of the baby’s toys stopped working properly, so we took it back and exchanged it for a new one. The new one is a little duck with a cylinder-shaped body that sounds like a wind chime, and as sounds and smells and tastes sometimes do, that little wind chime is a ticket for a [...]

Now that we’re back (in Bloemfontein) after our trip to the Kruger, and then to the Drakensberg, and then to Durban, I’ve realised I forgot to tell you we brought a baby zebra home with us! And just so you know, ’round these parts it’s pronounced ZEH-bruh instead of ZEE-bruh. {That first syllable rhymes with [...]

When studying Scripture I often notice an interesting pattern of paradox — like the truth that the humble shall be exalted while those who exalt themselves will be humbled. The first will be last and the last first. Whoever wants to become great should be a servant. In Jeremiah 24, God uses a simple illustration [...]
