Since
starting this blog over six years ago, I don’t think I have had a month where I
have been as lax as I have been this month. Even when I was in Africa for two
weeks on two separate occasions, I had blogs ready to post before I left and
then got right back at it when I got home.
I know that
I have been busy.
Vacation in
Illinois the first week of the month. I took over 900 pictures and am still
sorting through them. I don’t know why I think I have to snap a shot of every
single thing I see, yet there it is. All those photos in a file on the laptop.
Those first
two weeks of the month, both my kids were in Kenya. You would think that wouldn’t
stop me from having a life, but yet it did. Waking up at two am every morning,
knowing that it was mid-morning there and wondering if they were anywhere that
had WiFi so that I could message them and they could message me back.
The weekend
they got home, my son downloaded onto my computer a thousand pictures which he
had taken. I seem to think that I should go through them now as well and do
some editing and posting. But, THEY ARE NOT MY PICTURES. So I need to let that
go.
Last weekend
I had my CMA conference in Manitowoc. Not only did I attend two full days of
educational sessions, my partner-in-crime Denise and I set up tables to sell
our Kenyan merchandise. Made a good profit, all to go back to Kenya and our
nonprofit organization, Tumaini Volunteers.
Last but not
least, or so I think, tomorrow night I am giving a talk at Good Samaritan church
in Eland, Wisconsin. So I had to update my powerpoint with pictures from the
latest trip and pack up a smaller bag of African goods to display.
Umm, is that
it? Right about now I am thinking, “Bring on May.”
