Piece of Mind...

I've kept this in my files over the years and like to dig it out once in a while and read it.
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Be so strong that nothing can disturb your piece of mind. Talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet. Make all your friends feel there is something special in them. Look at the sunny side of everything. Think only of the best, work only for the best, and expect only the best.

Be as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. Give everyone a smile. Spend so much time improving yourself that you have no time left to criticize others.

Be too big for worry and too noble for anger.

Kruger National Park...Safari Time!

The top pic is the start of their safari through Kruger National Park. She said it was sooooo cool seeing a giraffe!! Looks like he's looking right at her, posing for the camera.

God's Window...Mpumalanga Province

"God's Window, Mpumalanga: Situated on the Drakensberg escarpment in Mpumalanga is God’s Window. Just one look down and you will begin to understand why it is called "God's Window".


This is one of the scenic spots they stopped along the Eastern escarpment on their way to Kruger National Park.

One more pic.....This Guy!!!

This one is just kinda thrown in here in the middle of things because I thought it was cute, she named it "This Guy". Just a little baboon she must've thought was pretty cute.

If you double click the pic you'll see he's actually a pretty little animal, probably more powerful than one would imagine!

This picture was taken somewhere along the way, on one of the safari's.

There are more pics like this, but not til later...

Still the first day in Johannesburg South Africa

Ok, the top pic is from the entrance to the Gold Reef City theme park, I'm kinda guessing here, but this is my impression.

Second one from the top is of the ferris wheel at the park, the third is taken from the top of the ferris wheel overlooking a freeway in Johannesburg.

And, of course the 4th is of Emma taken from the top of the ferris wheel. I figured I'd add this pic, even though she's 'not too fond of it' that's a direct quote!! I think it's a cute pic, she's smiling her little girl smile.

Don't forget to double click the pics for a larger view.

First day in Johannesburg....

I think these are the first two pictures she took upon stepping out of her hotel on her first day in Johannesburg, the top pic is of a tree outside her hotel and the second are birds on the grounds. She must've been pretty impressed by her beautiful surroundings she couldn't help taking pictures of a tree and two birds. That's a pretty cool lookin tree though!

I have a few more pictures to share with you from her first day there.

Ostrich....From looking in the camera...

to sitting on the plate.......Emma's plate. This is the ostrich steak! Looks pretty nummy uh?

She said it was so delicious that when she got home she was actually craving it, even dreaming about it! I keep telling her she has to revert back to being a meat eater. But then again, maybe regular ole meat isn't as good as this. And the wine....can't forget the wine....she said it was awesome..especially with this meal!!

I know she's broken her own vegetarian policies many times since, so there's still hope. Ha!
