Kenya Coast

Aren’t these great postcards of sheep? Thanks to my friend Carolyn in upstate New York. They are beauties. And they remind me of Julia. Julia was a sheep I purchased in Peterborough New Hampshire. Julia was to be looked after by my niece and her fleece was to be used in my weaving and knitting . That was the theory. Since I was actually living in Bangladesh at that time, Julia and her fleece were very far away.  I later learned that they were moved to another relative in Massachusetts and that was the only trace I ever heard of them…….. A tale from the 1980’s.

Ressemblance to Julia but isn’t Julia

Lussanacht Wednesday!

Having a birthday (Dec. 7th) in December results in messages and celebrations getting mixed up with Christmas. First is a lovely card I received for my birthday., followed by a special card for Christmas.

This is a letter I wrote about 35years ago to my sister Ruth. We were living in Kenya at that time and the letter was written in. late December to reach my sister in New Hampshire in time for her 65th birthday.in early January.

I don’t remember about half the things I mention in the letter!
