Oh, alright, so I've been a bit invisible of late....

Well, there really is no excuse for my absence, so we'll just drop it here and now and never mention it again, shall we?

My latest visual wanderings took place over a two-week time span in Cote d'Ivoire, West Africa. This was very much like going home for me, and this year I was blessed to be able to take my youngest son along, too.

Our time in Doropo, the small village where we were stationed, was consumed with the tasks at hand. As part of theNGO, the Hanna Project (http://www.hannaproject.com/) Save-A-Life IV team, I wore several hats--why, we all did! Team photographer, to be sure, but also translator (it is an amazing thing that my brain can recall those long-ago learned phrases and conjugations) and nurse.

My son, Andrew, was privileged to be part of the construction crew--pouring cement, painting, whatever!--as well as part of the "Village People" (open-air medical clinics doing mostly wound care).

All in all, it was one of the best two weeks in our lives, and that sums it up quite well.
