ReplyDeleteIt looks like you are having a great time! It is very pretty but a bit rustic for me! You know me NO reservations is the closest I come to anything like camping. I love seeing it through your eyes though. I can just see you setting yourself up for the best picture! Missy you bunches much love from the neighbors.

ReplyDeleteI had a student last night that was playing a piece titled, " Rhino in the Mud". I told her about your rhino picture so she could play the piece with more fun! You should have seen the look on her father's face as we were talking about the playful rhino and my friends in Africa!
