      Wow, great to read that Flora is in San Francisco, one of our favorite cities. While being consultants and also while working for Campbell Soup, we went there SO OFTEN! Love it.
      Who would have thought about Somalia...? The world is getting smaller and smaller.

  5. Dearest Mariette,
    I think you have the most international blog around. Although I can't read other than a little french and spanish, I always enjoy seeing the variety of languages your readers speak and write.
    Enjoy the week ahead......*s*

    1. Dearest Suzi,
      Thank you, it is easy if you can manage a few languages but I also do have a translator at the top of my blog so maybe that is what most do use.
      It looks like the heat is finally giving in a bit; even though it also is cloudy and that helps.
      Hugs,
      Mariette

      Yes, this way the world is becoming very small, right before our very eyes and it is such a great thing to witness.
      Thank you and you will read about our trips in Arizona, takes time to organize photos and for catching up on other things while having been away. Life is moving on at such a fast pace nowadays and the older we get; the harder it is for keeping up with it!
      Hugs and love to you as well; from both of us.
