Mornings are one of my two busiest times of the day – breakfast arrives in the morning, there’s a chance to run around like crazy in the garden to greet the new day, and a chance to spend some quality time with mom. I actually think mom is pretty well trained for her morning routine …
It’s Wednesday morning and as I sit here listening to the rain pouring down in Cape Town I find myself reflecting back on the week I spent in Ghana… was it really only a few days ago??? My overall impression of Ghana is that of warmth, the warmth and humidity of the weather, the warmth …
