Here’s my first Africa update.  I thought you might be interested in seeing what’s in my suitcase…. see photo below.  It should be an interesting experience traveling through customs.  My personal stuff needs to fit in 1/2 of my carry on bag – the other half is the stuff that needs to be on ice (I’m carrying a lunch bag with reagents).

I walked out to Hunter trail with the dog today… and took this picture on my phone (believe it or not).
I have a special place in my heart for bald eagles.

Torbin bought 20lbs of smokies. That’s $130 worth. They’re homemade natural beef sausages from the Steves farm – so they are awesome. But 20lbs, man we had a good laugh. He didn’t know how much he was buying. Man, that guy, I guess that’s why I’m marrying him!!

Hope the story made you laugh. Now, if you know of anyone who wants to buy a couple pounds of smokies. I’ve got some for sale!

Happiness is a garden party with loads of your friends. Last night, we had tons of fun. We’re looking forward to next weekend.
