Love it Bemused.

And since I live in the land of ice and snow I dream of the land where there is none. Of walking outside at night in nice warm weather and looking at the millions of stars seen there like no other place on earth. Of a branch cut off a tree on Christmas eve that will be wilted and leaves falling off by Christmas noon but o so beautiful on Christmas eve. Of the joy of the Africans at the wonderful feast of goat, and nyo and peanut gravy.

But when I dream of this there is dark black cloud of boarding school coming over the hill. O my Mom would tell you I couldn't wait to go but I didn't tell her of the dark black clouds I saw. O yes, I couldn't wait to see my friends and hope that maybe this year would be different. But it wasn't and isn't. I have heard in the last year of so many of the uncles I knew who abused I won't sit down and figure out exactly how many because I don't want to believe it, but it is true even without counting I know of so many of my fellow MKs who were hurt. So this Christmas I am acknowledging that big black cloud. But I am also acknowledging the Son is shining.

I am so thankful for all here on Fanda Eagles for their courage to share so we all know we are not alone. For their encouragement with the struggles. Thank you Bonnie and Kari for starting the Fanda Eagles.

Have a Wonderful Christmas. Wish I could cook dinner for you all.

That was pretty darn good, Bemused! I'll add a laugh

Wish I DIDN'T have to laugh at such a thought.
Have to laugh.
Have to cry.
Consternation/ Constipation/ and CONFUSION

Because the whole thing is not funny.

Good news. It is now 0500 on the 22nd of December 2012 in New Zealand. The world did not end as predicted, New Zealand has survived, so full steam ahead to Christmas.

Everybody else o.k.?

Hello, anyone out there?

Testing, testing, hello, hello.

Oh *!**!, look like New Zealand is the only place left . . . .

Bother, I was just getting to know some of them and they seemed like nice people, oh well carry on by myself then . . .

Bad news (for someone ) I'm still here too!

Bzzzzzzzzz.......
