counting down now…..……..

but not before a little bit of crazy.

Renee’s graduation is this Friday  and then it’s a weekend of birthday parties.  Joshua’s 5th birthday party is Saturday and then Tanysha’s 9th b’day party will be on Sunday.  Oh and 2 of my 3 kids have been invited to other parties in our community!!

The end of the school year is just always busy, always.

It’s hard to believe how quick the school year has gone by and of course that means another year of living here in Atyrau, Kazakhstan. 

It must be true, when you’re having fun time flies.

I never imagined my life in this community to be a busy one, never.  But I’m ok with that.

Well another year over and summer is almost upon us.

I’m looking forward to it.

corner view–birds

Corner View is a weekly appointment - each Wednesday - created by Jane, where bloggers from all corners of the world share their view on a pre-arranged theme.

there are days when I long to go back home.  home as in Papua New Guinea.  Don’t get me wrong, I love my life.  I’m thankful for the opportunities that are I have living in another country, experience different cultures and just being able to travel.  But I miss home every now and then.

And yesterday was one of those days and so I will share this bird.  a bird from my home island, the bird of paradise – also known as our national emblem.

as for my current place I call home, well I haven’t seen any pretty birds yet.  maybe cause I’m not really looking, but there are a lot of mean crows out there that have attacked a few of my friends! 

for more birds start with our faithful host, Francesca.
