thank you
Dear Scott and Shauna, I'm a friend of Dana's and we've met at her house... the day you guys were putting up the kids new trampoline. I wanted to say thank you so much for blogging your time in South Africa. It's been amazing to see and read about your many adventures and lessons. You have impacted me a number of times from so far away with your words. More than once you've posted a new update that has directly related to where I was at that day and reminded me to be thankful for where I live and to pull my head out of my backside : ) You both have an amazing way with words and I am so grateful to have been able to share in your amazing time in South Africa in a very small way. I hope you have a safe and uneventful trip back to Canada and that the weather lifts before you land : ) Kathy Laycock
