Doreen is visiting!

The girl we help sponsor and support at university in Uganda has finally been approved for a visitor visa!  She was rejected once as the UK worries about visitors from certain countries staying illegally.  She's reapplied with help and has the visa.  Her flight is due next week.  She'll stay for 2 months and we'll travel around Scotland and the London area.  Culture shock!  Stay tuned.

Due to an unusually harsh winter this year, most flowers are blooming later than normal.   Some in our garden.... rhodendron, azaleas, magnolia tree

Finished redecorating living room!

We've been extremely busy since we came home from our travels near the end of January.  One more room is now finished - the living/dining room.  Now on the lookout for some nice art for the walls.  The large wall hanging was purchased in Uganda, as were the woven baskets, bowls, trays, wooden masks and wooden boat, woven placemats, pillow covers, cloth, etc etc.  Also on display are photos of our Ugandan friends and artwork by one of our friends.
