Balance

Hello All,

Sorry about missing a day, but it wasn't my fault... geeze, I feel 8 years old again. Tried to publish the blog yesterday but something went wrong, what went wrong I have no clue as the
"went wrong" message was in German. This ain't as easy as it looks you know :-}

To balance out my previous blog picture, I snapped this shot of this woman and her baby sitting alongside the road begging... she did get some money out of me. But, look at the smile on that baby's face. I'm guessing this little guy is not much younger than our own Seb and Eli. I later saw the woman sitting the child on the sidewalk, with pacifier dragging in the dirt. Man, he could have used some individually packaged handi wipes. Speaking of which.

My friends CT and Dody in Florence, SC most generously offered to send me the products I mentioned in my earlier blog. Thanks are coming CT and Dody. Later I received an offer from my friend Dianne in Alexandria, VA... thank you too Dianne I'm sure there will be more I'll ultimately need here. Speaking of which... got a whole lot of comments on the whole "delicates" issue. My friends Kt and Judy both inquired about my need for delicates here in the dessert offering up quite humorous alternatives. My response: "hey, I'm still a girl and we need certain things even in a combat zone."

The job is getting more intense and I should be traveling more extensively now. However, I promise to be safe and keep my head down.

This blog hug goes to my beautiful friends CT and Dody and their Gang in South Carolina.

Love to All,

Gail
