Happy Friday!

• decorating the christmas bush outside with ribbon because everything else would get blown away or probably eaten. Also, this is my family’s “first tree” (guess I wasn’t feeling festive last year)
• shared homeland with the guys at the mairie

2nd goal is my favorite (bringing america to senegal)

“Rural villagers in Tanzania had never heard of the American holiday called Halloween. Also they had never seen this type of pumpkin before. I gave my friend some seeds and after some weeks, she proudly brought a home grown pumpkin to my house. I showed her how we carve jack-o-lanterns, roast the seeds, and bake pumpkin bread. She kept a few of the seeds to share with others and to plant again the following year; and for many years after that.” - Peace Corps Environment Volunteer Heath Roy
