As we arrived home after so many months of wandering, my blogging friend, Sunee from Sunee Sees the World, nominated me to participate in the 7 Links Game started by Tripbase, where bloggers make a list of 7 past posts, which might be favorites, or most commented, or most helpful. The timing seems fitting [...]  Several months ago, Marlie chose South Africa as her top choice of places to visit on our family trip around the world. As I’ve mentioned in earlier posts, this is a child who dreams of a life as a marine biologist, studying jellyfish and sea slugs. Seriously. She has talked about this dream unceasingly for [...]
Yikes. OK, we won’t feed them, but we’d like to see a few. This morning we awoke to silence.

Some bits are in our faces, others must be coaxed out like a shy child. Sometimes, we are mistaken, and a place grows on us or something causes us [...] One of the hornbill residents of the World of Birds.

Too funny, but thankfully was not an eye. |
