We have decided not to go to Kenya over Thanksgiving, because a baby is on it's way! I am a bit sad, the last two trips to Africa I've been invited on, I have been able to go. But all is well. I can't imagine being 5 months along and in Africa.
The picture is of my friend's child, Grace and Pastor Peter Adigwe from Nigeria. I just thought it was cool, so I did a bit of editing, my new obsession. I often wonder what the world could be like if we all had to hold hands for a few minutes. When I was a kid and my brother and I fought, my mom would make us hug until we liked each other again. We would start out squeezing each other so tight, to see who could squeeze the tightest and "hurt" the other because we were so angry, but by the time we were finished ...we'd laughed so hard we were crying and rolling on the floor. Friends AGAIN!!! So here's to the future. Don't Give Up, I am hoping that in my lifetime, we will see more peace and grace for each other.

Tomorrow is Grandma's Birthday, so I thought I would post a couple pics! She doesn't use the internet, so it's sort of funny to think of her image on the internet, and she doesn't even know. The top pic is her and her sisters (Nettie, Vivian-grandma, Barbara, Wanda), they are some of the most amazing people I know. I love having great aunts!
This picture is me and Grandma at Papaw's funeral, I know it's weird but in West Virginia, they take pictures at the cemetary. Grandma means a whole lot to me and she gives good advice, and lots of love. So HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA VIV! You are a great grandmother.
