New sights

Catch up

So far, my year has been active. I travel for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.
A month in Washington, DC with my friends, Lorrie and Rob. Lorrie and I had 14-hour shop-a-thong, pack every inch of the car with efficency. Dinners, long hours of talking and sharing. I especially note the sense of family and belonging. A wonderful exit from my life.

For Christmas

I flew to Seattle to spend the Christmas month with my second family, Leia and Darrel. I had the honor of meeting other Special Forces families and being welcomed with warm hearts. Christmas and News Years, plus staying at a wonderful Bed and Breakfast. I shared a wonderful time with Darrell and Leia. Expericing all the holiday festive activities. We agreed it was time to be together and share time together, as we have spent many holidays.
I flew home on the sixth, and Orr and I went to Italy, The Tuscan Valley and rented a villa with a cook for a month. Traveled to Turin,
Milan, Rome, but I most enjoyed exploring the villa, grounds vinyards, reading and writing. It was definitely the most marked birthday I was ever experienced. We stayed just under a month. We came home and I stayed in NYC with Orr for another week to rest from the constant traveling.

Soon, I will be leaving for Kenya, Africa on field mission for MSF for a month. A set up a psychology clinic, run it place locals as staff and return home then write a 50 page federal Field Report to The Secretary Aide of the UN and MSF as well. Field placement should be in mid June, or July.

Next bog will be closer to my Africa field deployment
