Mara Babies

I am looking forward to sitting down and writing a longer post about December. It has flown by in a whirlwind but contained many special times and I look forward to slowing down enough to sit down and reflect and savor the memories. For now, I am cooking up a storm for a potluck. It seems fitting that it is at the home of a new friend here who brought us our first meal upon arrival. And it also seems fitting that I am making both the Mexican Brownies and the roasted tomatoes I loved so much and for which I discovered the recipes while living here.

In the meantime, I thought I'd post a series of photos from our visit to the Masai Mara this December. In August the great migration of the wildebeests dominates the scene. In December things were greener and there were so many baby animals to see, which was also wonderful.

Enjoy! And happy last day of 2010. Wishing you joy and peace in the coming year!

In Light of Weather Delays...

I really did mail holiday cards in time for Chrismtas delivery. But dreams of a white Christmas apparently were answered in abundance this year and as far as I know, nary a Christmas card has arrived. I mailed Hanukkah greetings earlier and they DID make it, so yay for that!

In the meantime, here is a little sneak preview. The family picture is different on our actual card, but this was a close second, so really, this weather delay has a nice silver lining of giving me a chance to use both pictures I liked.

Happy last day of December and best wishes for a joyful new year!
