You asked for it . . .

Ok, I am tired of living with the guilt. We have been in Angola for over a year, and I have promised I would write to you . . . and soon. I compiled note after note on my computer, but I never seemed to finish what I started. Where should I begin? How could I possibly describe what life is like here? What would anybody really care about anyway? On and on. Hundreds of you---ok, many of you---no, actually, some of you have written to check up on us because you haven't heard from us in eons.

So I decided to put my techie nature to work and enter "THE WORLD OF BLOGGING." I almost feel I should be dancing with some heavy-soled shoes on to do that! (After all, my two daughters-in-law are way ahead of me in this department, and I love reading what they have written.) I must admit that it must take a bit of ego-centricity to blog. Dare I believe others out there really want to know the details of my life? Everyone is already over-stimulated with their own responsibilities, jobs, emails, blogs, blaaahg, blaaahg, blaahg. But at least this allows you to tune into this station when, and if, you choose to.


There is truly so much to say, and I honestly don't know what will interest you. But I will share a slice of our days in the hopes you can appreciate this unique opportunity that Allan and I have. This is probably a good way for me to "debrief," as frustration can run pretty high at times. And, of course, feel free to ask questions and make comments by clicking on the comment tab at the bottom of each post.
