This is a photo taken by my best friend, Frank on a safari last year in Botswana. He was so excited about this experience that it proved infectious for us, and we booked the same trip for this coming March. Botswana boasts the largest population of elephants anywhere in Africa, and Frank & Meg saw a profusion of other wildlife as well: leopards, lions, hippos, crocodiles, monkeys, giraffes, zebras, a wide variety of birds and more that aren't immediately coming to mind. We are doing a bit of nail biting making all the arrangements for us, as well as our dog, Drummer (who isn't coming along, but needs a temporary alternative home). The cost is twice what we usually spend on our international trips, but Frank assures us it will be our best trip yet!
Helen Keller described life as "a grand adventure or nothing at all". This blog is about my own grand adventures over more than seven decades. I could tell you about my family, friends and loves; or my experience with loss, death, divorce, betrayal, and other life tragedies. But life remains a grand adventure, and its those experiences I'll pass along to you. LIVE LARGE & LONG!
