Internet in South Africa has been expensive and not always easy to find, so I haven't had a chance to update my blog as much as I would have liked. I want to say briefly though that it meant so much to me to recieve all your messages on my Birthday. The distance across the Atlantic was never so small and insignificant. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and (in case I disappear under the radar for some time again) that you have a marvelous Christmas as well.
