Thank you for the encouragement about my traveling posts. ^_^ I enjoy all the info about the different countries anyway, but now I get to share it. It's kinda nice!...And thanks for the nice words about the shawl/scarf too! And you're right. It's warm...and soft. I made it with a double thread, and I put a edging on it so it would be nice and secure. But not for Ghana! Oh no! This is not the shawl you want for stifling African heat!

He just starts his day earlier...Some Friday's he's been so tired that we plan a 'Date Night' to sleep! NO KIDDING!! ^_^ And those have been some of our more memorable 'Date Nights'. Zzzzzzzzs!!!...As to Ghana's food, I kinda grew up on fresh black-eyed peas and pinto beans, greens and biscuits and cornbread. So, it looks delicious to me. {Except for the Fante Kenkey and the Fufu. I think I could probably do without those! But I always say stuff like that until I taste something. :-) So, I'll reserve my judgement about it.}...Ha! Ha! You made me giggle, about the baking in the sun. ^_^ I must admit I hadn't factored in the listening to the waves part. I 'do' love that part! But I'd just as soon do it at sundown. ^_^ Let's not forget too...I 'am' a woman of color!! Ha! Ha! It doesn't take much sun to get me to start becoming a darker 'ME'! Melanin, don't you know! ^_^ I do love the water though. We have a pool too! I used to love swimming in the pool, but...no more of that right now...I hope you have beautiful sunny weather to enjoy where you are today...and that it stays that way for you all weekend. Enjoy it!! :-)PoetessWughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05269054577952128702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593446012269283473.post-45679482523766267162011-08-12T08:26:12.888-07:002011-08-12T08:26:12.888-07:00Katherines Corner, Thank you so much!

We have talked about it, but it would be very hard. They have Randy working 6 days a week, from 10 to 12 hours a day. We do make it a point to spend time together. <br />What a neat flower you found. <br />Ghana sounds like a fun place to explore. Some of the food doesn't look real appetizing. Enjoy your visit. <br />Your shawl turned out real nice.<br />I am one of those people Deb. I just love the sun and warmth and love being out in it. I don't go to the beach very much. We have a pool where we are and that is where I do my sun baking. LOL We all have our niches that we enjoy. Some people go because it is just relaxing to be by the water listening to the waves. I find it very relaxing myself. Have a fabulous day and evening. HUGS.

It seems so silly to me to see people laying in the sun, putting on 'grease'. What are they trying to do....fry themselves?!! LOL And then other people have huge sun hats and a big umbrella to avoid the sun. But then why go to a place where there's nothing but hot sun?!!
