Well, I'm back from Burma, the most different place I've ever been. And I've been to many countries! (big honkin' snip) I still have 200 posts to catch up on but wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year! And purrs all around! Woo hoo! Welcome back and happy new year to you, Britta! I missed wishing everyone a happy new year when it was actually time to do so, as I was laid low with this nasty flu. We are slooowly dragging ourselves back into what passes for normality here, and I see that I have missed yet another episode where someone thought "OT" somehow stood for "Be a Horse's Ass", good grief. I hope your year's been good so far in spite of it. :-) ------ Krista Pics of Mike in RPCA Pictures!! |

And I've been to many countries! snip Glad to hear you're home safe - and no lingering nausea to ruin the trip. You're narrative reminded me of my time in Honduras. I was there for ten months serving with a US Army field hospital and we would go out to villages three days a week to pull sick call for the locals. The only way to get to some of the villages was by helicopter, foot or horseback - we used the helicopter ;-) Had to be careful to land away from any dwellings because the wash from the 'copters blew then over. The drs usually had to use multiple tranlators - 1 to translate into Spanish and then another to translate into the local indian dialect. We may have been the first non-Indians the kids had ever seen, and really attracted the attention. Your talking about movies also reminded me that the first time I watched Romancing the Stone was down there in a Honduran Air Force Officers club - in Spanish with English subtitles ;-) I got home at 6 pm and boy, was I happy to see Vino! And Vino was so happy to see me! I hardly got any sleep last night because he kept waking me up every half hour for more scritches and headbutts. Is he ever going to be happy when Dennis gets home on the 9th! Poor Vino, bet he was glad to see you, and is looking forward to his Paw getting home. Glad you're back safely. Its sad that some people must be poor, especially when its due to the corruption of others. Glad you and Vino had a happy New Year.
