See this beautiful red apple? It was perfect in every way and grown by my Dad! As it happens, apples, originated in Kazakhstan! On my journey there I hope to find the perfect little apple for me.

ReplyDeleteI was thinking of you yesterday evening at about 10:00 p.m.!! Although I've only known you for a short time, I can't help but feel as though the child you bring home has been given a huge blessing - you as their mother. How amazing!!
Can't wait to see (her?!) Vicky
At exactly 10 yesterday, I was driving home from Chicago and I was thinking at that exact moment that you were on your way KAZAKHSTAN!!! I am so excited for you and your your family. What a huge blessing!!! This is going to be a VERY LUCKY BABY!! I know your not there yet, right now, I think you said you have more traveling to do today to reach your final destination, but know that I'm thinking about you and praying for you.
ReplyDeleteLuv ya,
Dannette and Charles
