Dinner guests on two nights kept both of us busy. With the temperature at 104°F, 40 °C, on the first evening, the cooler weather last night made hosting a lot easier.
I was so happy and preoccupied with spending time with Rita, Gerhard, and Mom Inge, that I wasn’t timely, as usual, in getting the various dishes started. As a result, we didn’t have our main course until a few minutes after 7:00 pm. Fortunately, we had a few light starters to hold us over.
With their jet lag, their timing for dining was off, and I should have been more mindful. But I was having so much fun catching up that I was totally distracted and “behind the eight ball,” as they say. In the end, it all worked out.
We didn’t see as much wildlife as we usually see in the evening, but enough stopped by to keep Inge, a first-time visitor, entranced by their presence.
Lately, we haven’t taken many photos, and I need to get going in this aspect as well. But, with packing coming up in a few days, we may not return to Kruger to take the time to take photos in the garden. We will see how it goes. We have been having such a good time that we’ve been living in the moment, treasuring time spent with the animals and with friends.
Keeping stress at a minimum is also vital to our well-being. Recognizing how routine it is for our readers to see a new post most days, we make every effort to publish a new post. However, with the upcoming travel to Spain and lots of packing, leaving several bins of supplies behind, it may be sketchy over the next nine days until we depart.
Once we arrive in Spain, we’ll have plenty of time to take photos and publish posts each day. We’ll be staying in a busy neighborhood, and we’ll have plenty of photo opportunities.
We’re off to Komatipoort once more for a few more errands, but we’ll be back tomorrow, on a less busy day with more.
Be well.
