In your travels did you ever meet missionaries named Carol and Steve Smith? They served in the Ivory Coast.
You’re welcome here in London anytime. I am sure you’ll get enough rain ; )
We could swop flats sometime!!
Reading through this list made me so happy! Glad you were able to enjoy them.
Hot showers anytime you want one. I STILL appreciate that. Oh, and the meat section comment made me laugh. I forgot how “meaty” the grocery stores smelled!
Ooh – good call on the showers.
So glad you’re having a good respite.
It is true: Simple pleasures are the best.
Thanks for the list for your next visit. I will print this off and have as much as I can ready and waiting.
You guys are awesome.
