Botswana

My daughter is now enroute to Botswana - I just checked her flight status and she is about to cross over Namibia - Delta shows you exactly where the plane is when you check on the flight. So I had to share!



Hey - for all you Utterz users out there who live in Botswana (I'm sure there are lots of you - ha ha!) If you happen to see a red headed female wonder walking around, could you tell her to email her mother?? Oh, and make sure she's eating her vegetables. That is, if they have vegetables in Botswana. If they don't, then never mind.

my vuarnet sunglasses worth over $60!!!!

Whoah! It's a good thing that I never throw anything out!! I just dug up some Vuarnet sunglasses which I bought in high school - in those days, those were the glasses to own! I found them to lend to my daughter for Africa, since I assume it will be sunny there most of the time. Well, I found a sort of similar vintage pair on ebay, and they are going for over $60.00!! And mine are in better condition!

So maybe, after she returns, I will sell them on eBay. Assuming my daughter doesn't lose them first. :)

My absence explained & my daugher's intestines

Why no utterz? I have been sitting in the waiting rooms of a couple of different hospitals over the last two weeks while my daughter has had all kinds of tests done to rule out a major medical condition. Here's a photo of her upper intestine, which apparently is quite normal. It turns out my daughter is indeed well enough to go to Africa. So now I don't have to worry about a medical issue while she is there. Just back to the basic worries again - malaria, AIDS, parasites, lions, hyenas, and of course, falling in love with an Africa and never coming home!

Neon toe nail polish

My camera phone just doesn't do this color justice. Think neon - thinky orangy ugly. Think nauseous!

@megan35 - I know you were curious!

tacky picture required for Mother-in-law visit

My mother-in-law is coming a visit tomorrow! Thanks to @ck67 I have been reminded to have her photo out on my mantel. Last time I didn't, and I won the worst daughter-in-law in the world competition.

This time, I have to find a place for my new picture from her - a very tacky photo of Rockport, Mass. It is 3D (sort of) before the advent of holograms.

After she goes, it is going to ebay. I think I'll get a lot of money for it - there can't be many pictures like this in the world!

@respres (I'm sending it to him so he has something in his "in" box!) - but it is for everyone.

Monster drinks for Maharet

@maharet - I love people's addictions! Saw this and thought of you. I think they were on sale.

Happy 29th anniversary to mooomie!

Wow! All this talk of infidelity! I just need you to know that it can be OK - that people can be married for really long times and still be happy together, in honest relationships. Here is my wine from my celebration - I'm still recovering from the effects, but it has been a pretty nice night!

My best use for blackberries

Wild Blackberries in my yard

Here are my blackberries. They are reason enough to enjoy summer. This year they have gone crazy with all the rain. They just grow on their own, and then get nice and shiny when it is time to pick them, to make them easy to find! I eat them off the bush because they are so good, but someday, I keep thinking, MAYBE they would be a good daiquiri.

Beer and bare feet

The solution to the problem of Mondays. It worked so well, I'm going to try it again tomorrow :)
