Reunion in Jo'burg

Image
On my return from the conference in Durban, I was fortunate enough to spend a few days with my childhood best friend. It was amazing to be able to meet her again some twenty years later. We had spent time catching up and also attended her daughters' cross-country event. We also had dinner at this African-themed restaurant (where else would we eat when in South Africa?) called Moyo's. This picture is of us after getting our face painted. :) For dinner I had springbok, and also managed to taste a bit of ostrich. Very interesting, and pretty good - both of them, I'd say. :) The next night I actually met up with some other people that I had not seen in twenty-one years. It was just amazing to see us all grown up (the kids), and the adults were somewhat the same, except for a bit of age of course. So I managed to have this big old reunion in Johannesburg. Oh, and we unknowingly drove by Nelson Mandela's house in Jo'burg, only having realized it as we drove past wondering...

SPRING TO IT!!!

Image
Spring has come to Long Island! Actually, it has been here for a while now; I just haven't had time to blog it. But I HAVE managed to take some pictures of the great bloomingness! :) I think it's my first real spring ever. I mean, can you actually compare the "spring" in New Orleans or Los Angeles to this? No. Really. . . . No. This is on my favorite route to New York City and back - the Northern State Parkway. The sky was soooo blue, not too many clouds in the sky, and flowers were blooming. It was a gorgeous day to open up my windows and sun roof, and drink it all in! (By the way, attempt taking pictures while driving ONLY AT YOUR OWN RISK.....) Um....yeah, the same drive. :) It was so irresistible.... Oh, I guess I should disclose that I saw this man doing the exact same thing I was! (Taking pictures while driving....He's the one who actually gave me the idea of doing this....So yeah, all you adults out there! Remember, kids like me are watching you!) Hee hee. ...

How many more hours???

Hope all of you had a great Thanksgiving! I did. I cooked my first turkey and then a few days later watched a video of how you're actually supposed to carve a turkey (none of us had a clue!). We all took turns in cutting the turkey into tiny broken off pieces, and even had a vegetarian have a go at it! Crazy! She asked me not to post the photo on Facebook as her friends would kill her. *laugh* I'm keeping the photo for black-mail. ;) Just kidding! The turkey, thankfully, turned out to be pretty good. But man, I didn't realize how heavy an 18.5 turkey could be! Nor did I realize how many HOURS it took to cook the sucker! So, we all had a true Thanksgiving dinner - late really, as we began eating around 9 p.m. Lol! I'm not sure I'll ever do a whole Thanksgiving dinner again. But the fact that I DID do it was satisfaction enough for me. :) And as proof, here's the turkey photo. Heh heh.
