i've really grown up

not only did i order a plate of prawns for dinner, but i didn't even hesitate when they came served with eyes and tentacles still attached. (do prawns have tentacles?

my dinner music included piano versions of From a Distance, Tears in Heaven, With or Without You, and other fine tunes.

Be safe, looking forward to more stores.

Love, Becky

Yesterday in his search to find a house to rent during his tenure as my project's manager, he found a house he might like to buy. It's somewhere southwest of point B on the map below - i.e., very off road. View Larger Map He asked if I'd like to accompany him for a second visit, and I gladly accepted. This is the house next door to the one he might buy (and his inspiration for renovations): From Nairobi, take 2 and this is the view from there, complete with giraffe: From Nairobi, take 2 (can you see it?)
