My 36 books of 2013

hey teri-lynn! back from my vacation! wow what a great trip. got to see the big 5 - lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo and a leopard. also saw a cheetah, hyenas, hippos, jackels, vultures, terapins, crocodiles just to name a few. really was restful. on two occassions we had lions walk right past our car. was sooo nervous. they really are so beautiful. couldnt believe how full of stars the sky was. we miss out alot being in the city. was nice to be away from all technology.

Welcome back!!! So glad that you had a great time!! Sounds like a wonderful vacation!!!! Where did you go??

we went to the kruger national park. it was devine! :) but now im back and ready to get my read on! i have been sidelined with watching series lately, so i have slowed down abit.

Where is Kruger National Park??? Sounds like a lot of fun!!!
