The Kings Mountain show was beautiful- among those towering redwoods, you almost feel like you're in a cathedral!

At the Kings Mountain show, we got to visit our old friends Tom and Monica and do some great hiking

It was a real treat to visit Tom and Monica and stay in their incredible home overlooking San Francisco Bay!
After traveling through Africa twice with Tom and Monica, we have become good friends and look forward to another trip with them in the future

We sure enjoyed spending a couple of days with our friends Jan and Wally in Phoenix
We sure have shared some incredible adventures with Jan and Wally, and look forward to many more. This trip they introduced me to pickle ball and showed me their new" home", or should I say ,"resort".

We drove through Yosemite ,which was almost deserted because people were scared of the fires that had raged there
We were so happy to leave California and finally be on our way home

I'm not sure why the skies are so beautiful out West- but, they certainly are

We stopped in Manitou gallery in Santa Fe and stayed with our old friend Markeeta Brown

When we got home, we got a lovely note and photograph from the former president of Botswana
We are so proud to be a part of his personal gallery and hope to meet with him the next time we are in Botswana. I want to ask him why the government there is not maintaining their anti-poaching patrols and allowing senseless elephant killing by poachers
