This week I am in Atlanta at the CLSI leadership meeting. It is great to see the past and present mentors. It is wonderful having Gail back as a mentor and fun to see Deirdre again. Although Pam is not hereOf course it is good to see my Zambian and Tanzanian colleagues again.
I am looking forward to seeing Pat Germany. She will be having an early lunch with me on Friday before I leave for home. I love meeting old friends again.
Just one more week and I will be in Tanzania again to see old friends and greet new challenges. I am really blessed with wonderful family and friends and the opportunity to see the world in my retirement.

more activities in Zambia
Things became very busy and I seemed to have neglected my blog. So here goes- my attempt at catching up.
My last weekend in Zambia included seeing the installation of the Salvation Army Territorial Commander in Zambia at Lubala corps in Lusaka. What a wonderful and joyful event! Lots of singing and praise and Salvationists from all over Zambia.
There was a holiday on my last Tuesday for International Women's day. Barb and I took a tour of Lusaka and celebrated Women's day too. I'll add a few photos.
We managed to do some shopping at the Sunday craft market too. I think I over did the shopping thing but I did love the Zambian crafts.
I also had the pleasure of stopping in Johannesburg and visiting Major Jwili. I worshipped at a corps where the cadets from the training college presented the program. They were incredible!
Major, her sons Thando and Martin and I had lunch at a really great ribs restaurant. In case that wasn't enough Captain Rob and Lt. Juanita Wright brought their new baby Claire Thembe Wright to meet me. She is adorable and now my latest princess!
At home for a month, I am catching up on dental and doctor's appointments and visiting my children and grandchildren. Next week is the CLSI meeting in Atlanta. Then one more week and off to tanzania for 3 months.
I am surely blessed.
