WHERE HAVE I BEEN??

I know many of you are wondering what in the world happened to my obsessive blogging ??!!! Well, we have been so busy --- with Nathan coming home, working on CBF matters, enlisting partners (volunteers) to work with us over the next year, meetings, speaking, etc., I have let my blogging go for a few weeks.


I will try to catch up a bit (in pictures, anyway) before we head back to Macedonia tomorrow morning. So here is an abbreviated version of what has happened since February 20 (can that be just 10 days ago)?


Nathan Arrives in Louisville - February 20:













Souvenirs That Amy Brought From







(Of Course There Are Baskets for Me !!!)






Candid Shots After We Got To Jasper:












And Then There Was MORE SNOW !!!














Even Nathan Enjoyed His First Snow



The following are photographs that I made last week (a new hobby I am trying out) . I had lots of fun, and I think I am now ready for Sammi (our photographer in Gostivar that we have known for years) to work with me to improve my skills. He has offered to do this for some time now, but I didn't know whether I was ready or not. This was almost as much fun as watercoloring and quilting. HA!


I also intend to take Zlatko up on his offer to teach me framing. If I can do the framing myself, I will not have that extra expense if I decide to sell my watercolors or frame photographs later on. We will get to know Zlatko and his family on a more personal basis, as well --- not just as someone we do business with.


Nathan Mussie Breedlove





Sophia Rose







The Many Personalities of Anna Grace










Elijah James







I also took pictures of Arville




I even tried a self-portrait, but I think I may need a shutter release before doint that again. HA!




Hopefully, I can get back into more frequent blogging when I return to Skopje.
