Just Dreamin’

Sorry I haven’t blogged much. We are all in high gear trying to finish up the school year, and the gasoline prices have kept me homebound for a while. However, we do have some hopes to do some traveling this year! We have some things in the making, in particular a camping trip in the Adirondacks, and perhaps a hike up one of it’s mountains. We love the “strenuous life,” as fellow New Yorker called it (Theodore Roosevelt). We are very fond of TR, having read several of his biographies and seen many documentaries of him. We also have a neat computer game where you go on an expedition through the Amazon jungle and bump into him there, in the midst of a safari. It’s a pretty cute game and the kids love it.

TR made the African safari famous, too. Would you ever go on an African safari? I think I would! If you love safari (or love reading about it and looking at photos), check out the T. Jeffrey Safari Company website. They offer exciting Namibia safari hunting trips. My sons absolutely love the website. I’m sure they’d love for us to all go, but I can’t hit the backside of a barn anymore (I wasn’t too bad a lass with a gun, however). The gallery of photos at T. Jeffrey Safari Company are amazing. The best glimpse I ever got of Africa was Marlin Perkin’s Wild Kingdom; I’d love to see Africa for real! Imagine, roaming 200,000 acres on a family farm in central Namibia for a safari, or hunting for a week in the Kalahari Desert! Talk about the strenuous life! If you are into safaris, take a gander at the website. It’s an adventure in of itself.
