i'm off tomorrow for the giant anderson reunion. it's really just my dad's brothers and sisters, but there's enough cousins etc to keep it crazy. my aunt and uncle that spent several years in botswana came in last night. they are SO excited for me to spend time in south africa. they speak about it with such passion and enthusiasm. it makes me even ( Read more... )
